uodsp: Introduction

[Heidi von Ravensberg]

Welcome Justin. Eugene and the UO are packed with DS events, and I look forward to meeting you at one of them.

A new phase is underway at the UO - a DS Board of Directors has just been formed to oversee the anticipated DS Minor Program to be housed within the College of Arts and Sciences.

We've not yet discussed members of the public sitting in. But engaging community groups is a key part of the DS Minor Program and we are looking for members of community organizations to be on the Board.

I believe Prof. Betsy Wheeler who Directs the Board is planning to reach out to MIUSA.
