• (06/30/09) Thanks to all the workgroups for submitting reports as I requested! They varied from a couple paragraphs to "more than you would ever want to know". The reports inspired a major expansion of this web page so take another look at it. I have compiled much of what was submitted into the Course Inventory and Undergraduate Major Programs documents under Courses and Programs below. You can also look at the original reports under Documents and Links. I have also listed some Issues to think about over the summer.
