Hmph.
I'm pleased to invite you and your colleagues to register for one of our finest summer institutes: the Cornell/EDUCAUSE Institute for Computer Policy and Law (ICPL), held June 27-30 on the beautiful Cornell campus in Ithaca, New York.Join others at this leading-edge seminar -- one of the nation's premier forums for discussing and learning about technology policies in higher education -- to examine the impact that widespread use of the Internet has on college and university policies, procedures, and judicial systems. As one past participant said, "This was one of the best conferences for IT policy makers. I plan to return!"
