Hello Colleagues,
     I just signed up to be on the TIPS list last Thursday.  It seems I joined during an interesting time for a sample of the discussions I will find here.  I have been following the discussion on "Moral Relativity and a Swan Song" and have found the discussion colored with personality overtones most interesting.  I look forward to having some meaningful and supportive conversations with those of you who are still on the list.
     I teach full-time at Shasta College in Redding.  Redding is in Northern California about 50 miles from the sacred Mount Shasta.  It was 100 degrees here yesterday.  Shasta College is a two-year community college with approximately 12,000 students.  I am one of two full-time psychology instructors and as of June I will be the only full-time instructor.  We also employ 5 adjunct instructors.  We will be hiring a new full-time instructor next year.  I currently teach General Psychology, Understanding Human Behavior (an applied course), and Social Psychology.  Next fall, for the first time, I will also teach Cross-Cultural Psychology and an Internet section of Social Psychology.
 
     How about some introductions so I can get to know some of you.
