Editorial Welcome

By Mona Pelkey

Dear Readers,

It's the end of the academic year, and I'm certain many of us are contemplating vacations if we haven't already embarked. The flurry of exams, graduation, end-of-year reports, and other activities is exhilarating and at the same time exhausting. At my institution, the "high" of graduation is wearing off, and we are settling onto our summer routine. All but a few cadets are off campus now, on leave, on academic trips, or at military training, the music of their voices replaced by the cacophony of construction equipment, mowers, and weed eaters, the audible and visible symbols of college summer maintenance. Despite the absence of our students, our center is still humming, the cadence of our work measured by the cha-chunk, cha-chunk, cha-chunk of the copy machines, as we prepare for summer workshops and fall classes. We never completely close our shop, but our ranks are thinning as we fall out for annual beach duty.

We hope you enjoy this issue of Learning Center Exchange. Our authors are giving our Muses a little vacation next month, but we will be back in August. Have a great summer!

Mona
