The Electronic Palladian News and Opportunities for ACS Faculty and Staff From the Associated Colleges of the South http://www.colleges.org *******************************************************
CONTENTS for May 14, 2002 1. Students to Join Faculty at ACS Music Workshop 1. STUDENTS TO JOIN FACULTY AT ACS MUSIC WORKSHOP For the first time this year music students will be joining the faculty
at the July Music Technology Workshop. The New Music Concert at the end
of the workshop will feature the winning composition from the first ACS
Student Music Composition Contest (see more below). In addition, plans
are underway to include some student performers on the recital that will
feature new works by faculty members in the ACS Composers Forum. One goal
of the workshop is to begin creating partnerships that will support collaborative
performances by both faculty and students from all participating institutions. 2. ACS DIVERSITY INITIATIVE Check out the updated and expanded ACS Diversity Initiative web pages: 3. ACS ENVIRONMENTAL CURRICULUM AND FACULTY DEVELOPMENT ALLIANCE GRANTS The Curriculum and Faculty Development Alliance still has about $7K left

and would like to see if the grant applies, see the following web site.
Applications are due June 1. 4. POSSIBLE RESEARCH OPPORTUNITY IN BYZANTINE STUDIES A European research center focusing on Byzantine Studies has expressed
an interest in establishing a collaborative research program with a group

are interested in pursuing this initiative, please contact Mark B. Garrison,
mgarriso@trinity.edu, for more details. 5.

FUNDING AVAILABLE FOR HISPANIC AMERICAN PERIODICALS INDEX The Latin American Studies Planning Group is pleased to announce the availability of funding for consortial subscriptions to the Hispanic American Periodicals Index (HAPI). HAPI covers a full range of topics related to Central and South America, Mexico, the Caribbean basin, the U.S.-Mexico border region and Hispanics within the U.S. HAPI allows for unlimited simultaneous access and offers a consortial rate if a minimum of two of our institutions subscribe. You can view more information on HAPI at their website: http://hapi.gseis.ucla.edu/. If your institution would like to subscribe to HAPI, ACS through our current Latin American Studies grant from the Woodruff Foundation, will be able to assist you with 50% of the first year subscription at the pre-July 1 rate. This would mean a cost of $450 to your institution for the first year--allowing you an excellent opportunity to review the index at an initially low cost. Current subscription rates per institution are as follows: After July 1 subscription rates per institution will be: If you are interested in subscribing to HAPI, you should contact Teresa Wise, director of international programs at ACS (twise@colleges.org OR 404.636.9533, ext. 19) no later than May 31.
