 History
of the
Institutes 1977-2005
|
| The
history of the Institutes can be divided into seven phases.
With each change in institutional sponsorship, leadership,
and location, came changes in program philosophy and format.
The focus, however, always mirrored the original vision of
Martha
Maxwell, the primary founder of the institutes, that learning
assistance administrators and staff need an intensive professional
opportunity to network, to learn from each other, and to grow
professionally so that their learning assistance programs
and services could serve students more effectively and efficiently. |
