  1. Dyne and Marsha have joined Workgroup 3: Grant funding. Do you have some experience in searching for grants or are you interested in getting the iPad into many more hands? Please join us. We are going to meet after the iPad meeting this Friday

  3. I would like to see each member of the grants committee choose a class or area to try and outfit with iPads through grants. I would choose our Applied Music Program (30-40 students) to use for the semester.
