Teleconferencing Enables Meeting Despite Volcanic Eruption

Due to the volcanic ash eruption from Iceland, Barbara White, Director of Advanced Studies in England, and Jonathan Hope, Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, were unable to attend the annual Board Meeting of Advanced Study in England held this year at Washington and Lee University. Advanced Studies of England has an annual, working board meeting of all the affiliate schools. Locations of the meeting generally alternate between Bath, England and one of these affiliate universities in the United States. The purposes of the April 2010 meeting held at Washington and Lee were planning for the future of the organization, success and challenges they have had this year and what is coming up in the future. The affiliate colleges represented were Boston College, Bucknell University, Christopher Newport, Denison University, Franklin and Marshall, Gettysburg College, Hampton University, Hobart and William Smith, University of Mary Washington, University of Rochester, Saint Michael’s College, Skidmore College, Spelman College, Washington and Lee, Wells College and the College of William and Mary. Attendees were able to teleconference with White and Hope using the TMC’s facilities and Skype, an online chat tool.
