Judging by the comments and the evaluations, we had a great summer in 2007, and we are looking forward to another great summer next year. David Tucker is finalizing the schedule for Summer 2008, and it will be mailed out shortly. We will be offering more classes than ever before, including several that have not been taught before. The growth in the program also allows us to bring in several new faculty. We have renovated part of Andrews Hall here at Ashland to create more living space (with air-conditioning!) for next summer. I would like to extend a welcome to the 46 new students who have joined in the MAHG program in recent months. Never hesitate to call any of us if you have questions about the program. |
