This fall we have some new volunteers in the Office, namely William Eubank, Deborah Kelty and Norseha Unin. William, who is a teacher and professional web-master, will take over as CVIP webmaster from Farhan Ahmad, who finished his degree and is now working in the real world. We thank Farhan for his able and generous help in setting up our website.

Deborah is a recent MSU graduate with a major in psychology who is also teaching a class with the Volunteers for English Tutoring Program, and Norseha is a PhD candidate in educational administration. Norseha also serves as co-chair of the Speakers Bureau.

Also, the Office welcomes back recently-married Leslie Watson-Eubank, who returned to us after some time in China teaching ESL. Pat Barrett and Ann McCall complete the crew, both returning from previous years as co-chairs.

Our website is worth a look if you are not already familiar with it. New this year is the availability of various types of applications for downloading. Some are for use by Global Festival participants and one is for those who wish to donate items to the Scholarship Committee. Soon the Speakers Bureau will have request forms for speakers ready for use. The CVIP web address is

If you would like to help out in the Office, please call Pat Barrett (337-2212 or barrett9@ msu.edu) or Ann McCall (332-6984 or amccall22@ earthlink.net).
