NADE 2008 Literacy Project :
Would you like to donate books to NADE’s 2008 Literacy Project without lugging them around?  Here’s an idea.  Go to amazon.com order the books you would like to donate and have them sent to this delivery address:

Don’t worry there will still be a collection spot for those who prefer to bring them to the conference.

The conference theme was selected to remind us that, in spite of developmental education’s long history of success with students of all academic abilities, there remains a constant tension between the needs of students and the limits of human and material resources in the delivery of programs.  For many students, access to higher education continues to be a struggle, and we as educators play a vital role in helping students improve their lives through access to curriculum, programs, services, and teaching and learning opportunities. 

The six New England states are home to some of the best colleges and universities in the country.  What better place for us to meet, to share ideas, and to develop revolutionary ways to meet the challenges we face as we continue to deliver excellent programs and services to our students?  Come experience the rich cultural, educational and historic offerings of Boston, with its many museums, restaurants, historic landmarks and, of course, great shopping! 

So…please come to Boston where you will be “educated, inspired, wined and dined, treated to events that are one of a kind in historic venues that we  have selected where we will share info that you’ve not detected.”* Volunteer your time in an area of interest.  Browse Our web to learn more about the conference and the City of Boston, and sign up for outstanding pre-conference Institutes, presentations, and poster sessions.
