• University of Arizona (Tucson) and 
• Paradise Valley Community College (Scottsdale)

In 1997, Paradise Valley Community College, a member of the Maricopa Community College District, became a co-sponsor with the University of Arizona of the Winter Institute series. With this addition to its sponsorship, the 19th Winter Institute (1998) relocated to Scottsdale with plans to alternate every other year between a Tucson and a Phoenix location. Dr. Rick Sheets, Director of the PVC Learning Asistance Center, became the 1998 on-site 19th Winter Institute Coordinator.

It was also in this phase that this Winter Institute web site was created. It too is a joint effort with Rick Sheets, Paradise Valley College, as its webmaster and Frank Christ, University of Arizona, as its editor/consultant.

AFTERWARD

As a footnote to this history, it should be noted that all the institutes described in this history (CSULB, USAFA, University of Arizona, and Paradise Valley Community College) were inspired by Martha Maxwell's groundbreaking series at UC Berkeley. In addition, it seems that the summer series of institutes for learning centers sponsored by Les Wilson at NY Long Island CC, and the MCLCA summer series were influenced by the UC Berkeley program. 

We thank the following colleagues for their help in finding and sharing materials on the institutes: Martha Maxwell (Consultant, Bethesda, MD) and Kenneth Zech (Kings River Community College, CA).
