OPPORTUNITIES
1. ACS Explores On-line Instruction
Are you interested in developing an on-line course or module or seminar or tutorial? If you are, please let us know. The consortium is exploring with interested faculty on-line instructional efforts that would give a student access to programs on one ACS campus that are not available on his or her home campus. If you are interested in such cross-institutional connections, please contact Marcia White of the ACS staff at mwhite@colleges.org.
2. Summer Teaching and Learning Workshop
The annual ACS Summer Teaching and Learning Workshop is scheduled for June 6-11, 2011 at Rollins College. Interested faculty are encouraged to contact their academic deans who will nominate faculty for the workshop. More information is available at www.colleges.org/summerteach/summerteach.html or by contacting the workshop's director, Barbara Lom, Associate Professor & Chair of Biology at Davidson College (balom@davidson.edu).

4.
Call for Papers: Latin American Symposium
Please plan to attend the 19th Annual Latin American Studies Symposium hosted by Birmingham-Southern College on April 8, 2011. This inter- and multi-disciplinary event is a unique opportunity for undergraduate students to present their research in a professional setting. The Symposium has grown to become one of the largest of its kind, with students from nearly 30 colleges and universities participating last year. The event has become a valuable opportunity for students and faculty to discuss a wide range of topics in the Americas region. Since this year’s Symposium is a one-day event, space will be limited and only the best proposals will be accepted.
The deadline for submission is February 7th, 2011
