This audio-visual work is witness to the fact that campus life around the College of Education and Allied Professions is constantly in change and growth. To join one of our College programs, take the prior links to the Dean's Office or to the Department of your interest and use the contact information to reach out and touch someone. Click the picture in the left column for a more extensive pictorial and textual story of the event. I am looking for people interested in forming a College News team that learns about multimedia publishing while creating news stories for our web, so please check out additional information on this idea.

	Smokey Mountain Elementary School 98 Part I completed the second phase of its Netday wiring for the Internet project today.

They and others came to the ITC (Instructional Technology Center) in the afternoon to compose this web page story. Part II continues this story.
	A Celebration of Teaching and Learning was held on Friday, April 3, 1998. The College held a day long celebration of teaching and learning that brought educators from six states, and nearly five hundred people to many events, including a luncheon in which Dean Gurney Chambers gave his last official speech as Dean of the College of Education and Allied Professions.
