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 and answer questions about research on student  
persistence in adult literacy education.  More information to come  
later in June.

If you want to let colleagues know now, however, please forward this  
e-mail to them with the information below on how to subscribe:
