Although the University's summer months are upon us and the heat and humidity of the Ohio River Valley settles in for the next couple of months, the CEHD continues to be busy in accomplishing the work of our departments, programs, centers, offices, and projects! CEHD's full and part-time faculty and students are engaged in teaching and learning through face-to-face and distance education course work, summer institutes, research initiatives, international education experiences, various collaborations with P-12 district and school partners, Fort Knox, and community agencies. We also continue to reach out to and cultivate relationships with our alumni and donors.

The CEHD is a continuing host training site for UofL's annual Advanced Placement Summer Institute (APSI) where high school teachers from across the U.S. participate in workshops in a variety of subject areas to learn the latest methods and topics in AP curriculum, teaching strategies, and course content. CEHD's Gheens Science Hall and Rauch Planetarium staff are engaging children and adolescents in summer camps that give them hands-on experience in making telescopes, solar ovens, and rockets. The CEHD Office of Education Advising and Multicultural Teacher Recruitment Program (MTRP) continue to recruit, advise, and support our students in undergraduate and graduate programs. And, finally, as UofL's President Bendapudi and the Board of Trustees have asked academic and service units to plan for an additional 5% budget cut for FY19, we are working diligently and strategically to absorb this cut.

We hope you have a safe and relaxing summer and thank you for your continued support of UofL and the CEHD. We are looking forward to the start of the fall 2018 semester!

Sincerely,

Ann E. Larson
