National Post School Outcome Data Community of Practice ------------------------------------------------------
Hi, All, Apologies for (inadvertently) sending my email to the list, intended for Jane. With that said, you now have a copy of my CV and I am looking forward to re-entering the world of work as I wrap of my studies here in Madison. :) Also, if you want to take a shot at my research questions below, please feel free to do so. I hadn't planned on sending them out to the 'world' quite yet, but now that I have 'outted' myself, it is perhaps a good time to get some some extra input related to my transition questions. These are similar questions I am posing to the DSSHE listserv folks to get input to shape them appropriately, from the higher ed perspective. Thanks again, and again apologies for adding another email to your inbox during the busy holiday season! I hope you have a wonderful holiday.
