Colleagues, If you are preparing to leave for New Orleans tomorrow, I'd like to invite you to participate in the featured institute: #1: Politics isn't just for politicians! at 9:00 on Wednesday morning. If you are * concerned about the future of developmental education; * concerned about college access; * concerned about academic integrity; * concerned about college standards; * concerned about the lack of information concerning developmental education available to the public; * concerned about the lack of knowledge about developmental education among legislators; * concerned about a national agenda that seems aimed at "keeping folks in their place," Then you should attend the institute to learn what you can do. You already make a difference in the lives of your students, and you can also make a difference with your lawmakers! Please consider this to be your special invitation! Gail Platt, PAC CLRA
