PROGRESS REPORT

Ca marche, as they say over here.  Ten committed faculty at Bennett College have volunteered to participate in the first year of our new program.  Letters have gone out to sixty in-coming first year students inviting them to enter the program.  Six of the ten faculty members have already responded to my email letter of greeting, and when I return to Chapel Hill in a week, I shall set up a meeting with as many of them as are available during this vacation period.  Dania Francis, the Duke University advanced doctoral student, has almost completed a draft of the Research Protocol that we shall submit to the Spencer Foundation for approval.  Not too bad for a slow summer period when it is so difficult to get anything done in the Academy.

These are early days, of course, but thus far, we seem to be on schedule.
