All the relevant content from the old site has been included.  The section on Past Programs is being revamped and is still in process.  When complete, it will feature details, handouts, and images from relevant programs, and will be organized in a manner to easily find programs of specific interests.  Its completion status will be announced here.

Some new additions and enhancements in the works include:

• An archive of previous newsletters, “Our Name’s The Game,” along with an index to the newsletter articles
• New indexes to Special Publication collections, including, “Gone West”
