Dear Educator: Rochester Institute of Technology, the University of Rochester, and Apple Computer, Inc. are hosting MacAdemia '90 May 29 through June 1 in Rochester, New York. Our theme, Visions for Education, focuses on the Macintosh as a fundamental technology for changing the way we view the process of learning. Visions for Education allows us to explore education reform as we enter a new decade. We are inviting proposals for MacAdemia '90 presentations. Presentations will be 45 minutes in length, and should explore some aspect of the uses of Macintosh computers in higher education. Presentations that incorporate on-line demonstrations or desk-top presentations are preferred. Some hands-on sessions will be scheduled. Proposals should be submitted on the included Presentation Proposal form, or alternately via electronic mail using the form's questions. Send proposals to: MacAdemia '90 Program Committee Taylor Hall University of Rochester Rochester, NY 14627 FAX: (716) 461-1328 or via electronic mail to: macprops@cc.rochester.edu (Internet) MACPROPS@UORDBV (BITNET) A82 (AppleLink) The deadline for submission is February 16, 1990. Incomplete forms, or proposals postmarked after the deadline will not be considered. The program committee will notify speakers in early April. As MacAdemia is a regional conference, preference will be given to proposals submitted by schools in Apple's North East Area. Apple Computer, Inc. will pay reasonable travel, hotel, and conference registration expenses for accepted presenters. Sincerely, Philip A.
