1. Journal of Learning Communities Research

1. Journal of Learning Communities Research (Attached: Call for Manuscripts & Subscription Offer)

The managing editor of this national academic journal dedicated to disseminating research and best practice articles about learning communities has written to the dean’s office to encourage you and your colleagues to submit manuscripts for publication.

3. Internship coordinators

In order to facilitate the flow of information about opportunities that might be relevant to your majors, we'd like to assemble a mailing list of CLAS faculty members who are internship coordinators in your unit, or who incorporate service learning into their teaching. Could you please send the names of relevant faculty members in your unit to Monica by Monday, June 15? It would be great to have every unit represented, to create a conduit of information for everyone. Thanks in advance.
