1 The Undergraduate Program Revision Committe

The Undergraduate Program Revision Committee will soon be meeting to start the process of revising the Faculty's teacher education programs. As Dr. Paré said at the Faculty Assembly on September 20th, the committee welcomes the input of all colleagues in the faculty and in the school milieu, and encourages you to contact (preferably via e-mail or on paper) any of the committee members. The committee will then have the task of trying to incorporate as much of the input as possible into the final products.

Committee members:

Brian Alters, Helen Amoriggi, Naomi Barrett, Spencer Boudreau, Eric Caplan, William Gray, Jim Hanrahan, Myrna Hynes, Kate LeMaistre (Chair), Denise Lussier, Carol Marriott, Howard Riggs, Joan Russell, Mela Sarkar, Cheryl Savage, Grace Wong-McAllister, Jane Wardle, Elizabeth Wood, (TBA: 2 more representatives from the school milieu)
