Welcome to the 2008-2009 school year

I hope everyone had a great summer, too short of course. There are some major changes in the department this year, most notably the loss of joel our friend and mentor and he will be missed. However, we wish him the best of luck at his new job in Cheektowaga and I'm sure he would want us to continue his blog legacy:) Anyways, even though the first few weeks of school are very hectic we need to get organized because we have new teachers and we are teaching new things. We need to get these folks signed up for the blog so that they have access to this vital resource. Also, as soon as the dust settles, let's meet up so we can organize curriculum and resources. Congratulations to Cheryl for becoming the new team leader, I am sure she will do an excellent job, and on her new job at Buff State. Also, congrats to the new teachers in our dept. for joining us full-time--it is great to have you aboard.
