You should receive the new Chautauqua brochure sometime in the coming
weeks. I am including here an advance notice of the courses to be offered
by the University of Dayton Center in 2004. Note that there are three new
courses this year on The Molecular Basis of Disease, Marine Fauna and
Communities on the Big Island of Hawaii, and The Birthplace and Early
History of the Atomic Bomb. New last year were Visual Basic.NET, The
Microsoft .NET Framework and Persistent Data, Advanced Java Programming,
Hands-on Networking, and Earthquakes and Tsunamis. We would be happy to
email you course descriptions for any of your courses of interest. Just
let us know.
Following the list of courses below is an email application form for your
use if you want to apply now. Note that the field courses and the computer
courses tend to fill early. In fact, last year half of the following
courses were closed well in advance of offering. We would be happy to hear
from you now! Please note that our office will have limited coverage in
the coming month. The best contact is probably by email at
"miner@udayton.edu."
