Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce that on the Special Topics discussion list
from July 10-18, Dr. John Comings, Director of the National Center
for the Study of Adult Learning and Literacy (NCSALL), will be a
guest to discuss research on student persistence in adult literacy
education.

Special Topics is an intermittent discussion list. The topics open
and close throughout the year, so there are periods where there will
be no discussion or postings. You can subscribe to the e-list for a
particular topic of interest, and then unsubscribe, or you can stay
subscribed throughout the year. To participate in this topic, you
