1 996Dear Members of the SCS Community:

We have celebrated some monumental anniversaries during my tenure asdean–the School’s 40th anniversary in 2002 and my 10th in 2005–but theexcitement generated by the birth of the non-credit program, ThinkAgain, has proved to be a defining moment in our development and soclearly exemplifies our mission: To Enrich Lives and Careers.

I want to particularly acknowledge the efforts of Dr. Patricia JohnsonBrown for her original concept for both the program and its implementa-tion. Dr. Brown arrived on campus as associate dean in 1995 specifically

to develop a non-credit curriculum that would mirror oursuccessful evening school credit programs, with an

emphasis on the liberal arts.

From an initial offering of 12 courses that enrolled72 participants, the program has grown to hun-dreds of offerings with more than 5,000 enroll-ments annually. Our creative and diligent staff hasexpanded the programming to fall, spring and

summer editions, under the auspices of the Officeof Community and Professional Education, directed

by Pam Johnson.

The publication has brought enormous recognition to theSchool and to the University, for which we are grateful. But,

most importantly, Think Again provides learners of all ages with anopportunity to engage in the continuous pursuit of learning.

Please join me in this celebration year, with special events onOctober 7 for the entire community. On behalf of the faculty and staff,we want to thank you for your generous and committed support, and welook forward to your participation during the next decade. And, specialthanks to Pat, Pam and the staff of OCPE for their devotion to this award-winning program that has become such an integral part of the School ofContinuing Studies.

Sincerely,

James L. Narduzzi, Ph.D.

Dean

Special Thanks

As we celebrate the10th anniversary ofThink Again and ournon-credit programs,we’d like to givespecial thanks toDr. Patricia JohnsonBrown, AssociateDean, for her originalconcept for both theprogram and itsimplementation.
