of Arts and Sciences (CCAS) conference, we decided to schedule a reorganizational meeting for TADLAS at the 2012 CCAS annual conference in Seattle, WA. at 3:00 PM on October 31, 2012.

from our 2010 meeting in San Angelo. We are hopeful that many of you will make the effort to attend CCAS and be there for our TADLAS meeting during the pre-conference day. It is important that we have strong representation to set goals and make plans for a
substantive annual meeting in 2013. This is a critical time for higher education in Texas, perhaps especially for us in the liberal arts and sciences.
