Because an increase in number of presentations will indicate increased skill at presentation proposals, the number of professional presentations by the Masters of Arts graduate students in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction will increase from the previous year.
Unfortunately, the past three years there have been no students in the program. We have begun the paperwork to phase this program out of our inventory.
