We are looking forward to our third summer. As you can see from the course list, we will be offering 17 courses this summer. Six of these we are offering for the first time in the Masters program: Political Parties; The Early Republic; The American Presidency: Washington to Lincoln; and America 1898-1945, as well as two text courses, one on Mark Twain and the other on Madisons Notes from the Constitutional Convention. We have gone from four to five weeks to accommodate all the courses. Our student numbers continue to grow as well. A handful of our first students will be taking the research methods course over the next several months. They will be working on their theses or capstone projects in the coming year. We may have our first graduates in 2008.

This issue of the newsletter features one of our students, Chip Abolafia, whose experience teaching American history in the countrys extreme Northwest makes for an interesting story. It also introduces four more of our faculty, two old hands and two newcomers, as well as listing some recent publications by faculty.
As you look over the course list and plan your summer, please let me know if you have any questions.
