Dear All,

Thank you for helping make 2007-08 a year for a goodly number of talks and participation amongst departments. Ann Thompson's well-attended talk about the Globe Theatre for the university audience on Monday was just the culmination. We are also making progress towards the future development of a Humanities Center, so stay tuned for more on that.

Next year, Katharine Gillespie (English) has gracefully offered to step up to the task of organizing events for the Early Modern Studies Collective. You can reach her at [log in to unmask] with any requests to schedule works-in-progress sessions or other events.

See you in spring 2009 after a fall mini-tour in Luxembourg, all best, Kaara Peterson
