PSS receives $250K to improve language curriculum (fwd link)

[Mary Hermes]

Hi Phil,

Do you know about the conference at Cambridge in March?
I think I saw it on our list-serve, but may have trashed it.
Can you send if you have it?
Also, my partner, Kevin Roach --- you met at INFIELD--- just requested to be on the list serve, 
I could not remember how to tell him to sign up...
