0 SIGCSE 2010 - BOF Topic: Outreach to Minority Student

This is a copy of an email I recently sent to the SIGCSE (Special Interest Group in CS Education) mailing list:

-----

Hi SIGCSE!

I am the Director of a pre-college program at the University of Pittsburgh (
www.cs.pitt.edu/tli) and a CS teacher at the Pittsburgh Science & Technology
Academy (www.pghscitech.net). This year for SIGCSE, myself and a few
colleagues plan to submit a Birds of a Feather (BOF) about
College/University outreach programs to minority students. We are seeking a
2-3 additional educators or researchers who have atleast 2-3 years of
successful experience in organizing outreach programs for minority, high
school students.

The goal of this workshop is to provide an environment for those interested
in having an informal discussion about successful strategies of
college/university outreach programs for minority students. (From the SIGCSE
website ->) Proposers of BOF sessions should serve as discussion leaders
only. BOFs are not intended to be presentations.

If you are interested in being a presenter in this BOF, please submit the
following information to (tli@pitt.edu) by *October 12, 2009 by 5pm EST*.

- Biography of presenter
- History and description of the program (about 300 - 500 words)
- Student demographics (eg. age/grade, gender, ethnicity)
- Indicators of success (outcomes/results)
- Contact information (including website)

We are seeking diversity in the presenters - in terms of types of programs
and student demographics. We may request additional information to make a
final decision.

FYI: The SIGCSE BOF deadline is November 2, 2010.

I look forward to your response. Please do not hesitate if you have any
questions.

0 Best email client for mac?

I switch email clients regularly. I've tried Entourage, Apple's Mail, Opera and now I'm just using Gmail to check ALL of my email (I've used Gmail the longest). Some of my requirements include,

• Managing about 4 accounts, address books, etc.
• Integrate calendar into mail client
• Integrate tasks into mail client
• Receive mail from multiple accounts AND send from multiple accounts
• Apply different signatures from each mail account
• Create and manage mailing lists

One of the features that I don't like about Gmail is that their Address book is very basic. I also like that using Gmail, I can check my email ANYWHERE. But more and more, I find myself needing to manage mailing lists for business and personal use. At work, we use Outlook (on an Exchange server) and I like it! Entourage is (kind of) the Mac version of Outlook, but I had some problems with it in the past ...

What are your thoughts .... what Mac email client is best for multiple email accounts (IMAP) for both business and personal use??
