MINI UNIVERSITY: Fall 2011


Sharpen your pencils, people.  Despite a two year lapse in Mini University's existence, It's back with a vengeance.  I've spoken with many people who have lectures up their sleeves.  

To those of you who have lectured in the past:  put your thinking caps on.  What have you been learning about in the past couple years?  What new topics can you enlighten us on?

Mini U gives us a forum for formal learning, for FREE.  Why not expand our minds with the collective knowledge that exists?

Mini U will happen approximately every 3 weeks, with typically 2 lectures (30 mins each) per evening.

Tuesday is what I'm thinking....  vote for your favorite day on this DOODLE (click to vote)
