Editor’s Notes
With this “Summer 2010” issue of the A&S E-Zine, we start our second year of high-lighting and reporting on happenings in the UMKC College of Arts and Sciences that mark achievements by its faculty, staff and students (past and present). We hope our readers find the enterprise of interest as we strive to make this information available in ways that can be communicated more widely and at less cost than hard copy news. It also can be explored through the links we provide to the extent that the reader chooses. And it can be shared quickly with others who may have an interest in the College. All of these depend on remaining as true to our format plan as we can where we publish the essentials and rely on links to other sources for the details. Otherwise, the e-Zine would get unwieldy.
This issue also is the first one that will be produced completely in the College. As we were learning to ride this new vehicle, we had able assistance from staff in the Provost’s Office. Now the training wheels are off and we hope we can continue to ride smoothly to our destination.Our expectation is to publish approximately once every month near the end of the month except during vacation breaks and the summer. And our requirements remain the same: one or two sentences about the achievement and then an internet link to a more detailed source. We look forward to receiving your suggested items at Neumand@umkc.edu.
Finally, as in the past, the newsletter will be accessible in two formats: a PDF and a WordPress version. The former can be printed (if need be) and the later is keyword searchable. And the links in each are active so you need only click on them to go further. Both are archived at: http://info.umkc.edu/thequad/newsletter-archive/
