The committee discussed sending representatives to the International WAC Conference in Austin, TX in late May. Matthews and Preston will go from the committee. We are still considering another person, likely someone outside the committee who is committed to WAC and has been at the fore of teaching WI courses.

The WAC workshop will be August 26, 27 and 28 this year. Wallace and Matthews agreed to begin outlining the workshop and then bring a draft to the committee.
