List Serve

A list serve has been set up for more extensive discussion among members of the Consortium. You can subscript to this list serve either using a Web interface or via e-mail:

• Web interface: Use the form at http://www.cs.grinnell.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ia-cs, following the directions on that page.
• e-mail: Send an e-mail message to ia-cs-join@cs.grinnell.edu. The title and body of your message are ignored, since the e-mail address indicates the task desired.

Preparing Future Faculty (PFF) Project

At its March 6, 1999 meeting, several members of the Consortium decided to develop a proposal for the Preparing Future Faculty (PFF) Program, administered by SIGCSE. The resulting proposal was approved by the NSF/SIGCSE Leadership Team on March 26, 1999. That project has now finished, although discussions related to future projects continue.
