the laptop will replace it. Participants who bring their own laptops will
receive a stipend of $500.

mandatory, the laptop or stipend will be awarded only to those participants
who are present for the entire workshop. Applications are due March 18.
No experience necessary. Open to all full and part time faculty scheduled to
teach at SSC in Fall 2007. Limited enrollment. Applicants will be notified
of acceptance into the program early April. Preference given to full
time faculty members and long term adjuncts with clear plans for including
