grad programs in documentation

[s.t. Bischoff]

Hello all,

I threw together a quick website with the programs mentioned in this thread
and added Language Reading and Culture at the University of Arizona as
well. If folks would like to send more programs I would be happy to keep
the site updated. Of course it would be great if others created websites as
well, as suggested earlier in the thread...Here is the link...If I have
made any errors in my haste let me know.

If you would like me to add anything to your program (e.g. contact info for
specific faculty) let me know.

Regards,
Shannon
