<font face="Lucida Grande">I wanted to let everybody know that Nancy
Shapiro asked me to come to the Board of Regents meeting this
coming Tuesday -- it turns out that the BoR has to approve any
USM-based center, and the MCCE hadn't been brought to them
before. I expect it will all go OK, and hopefully they won't
think we were trying to pull one over on them. :-) Nancy (who
will give the presentation at the meeting) put together some notes
about how the MCCE came to be, which I updated some and have
attached. Let me know if you think any important pieces have been
left out or misrepresented.<br>
