Wrap-Around Conference (July 13–15, 2006):
A Wrap-Around Conference Course can be taken in addition to an Institute. Graduate-level (2 or 3 semester hours) and undergraduate-level (3 semester hours) wrap-around courses provide an additional academic perspective on the conference. Dennis Hollinger, Ph.D. (graduate level) and Joyce Shelton, Ph.D. (undergraduate level) will lead the courses. Courses include additional class meetings in conjunction with the conference, but the bulk of the content will be the conference itself. Readings prior to the conference and a project following will be required.
