Stone Soup LogoWelcome to the Spring 2004 issue of Stone Soup. The winter of 2004 has been an especially interesting time for the Division of Continuing Education. Call it a time of and expansion and groundwork. Expansion can be seen clearly in our University in the High School and Distance Learning offerings, as detailed in articles in this issue. Both of these programs have extended the campus to individuals in outlying areas, bolstering our part-time enrollments without impacting upon campus classroom space or parking. And, groundwork can be seen in efforts to build the foundation for future programming - much of which exists for the moment only as potential. Cases in point: The potential for collaborative programming with Schenectady's new Zone 5 Police Academy and with SuperPower, an emerging international force in power distribution. I encourage you to read about these new efforts below.

Like most staff at SCCC, Continuing Educators are continuously exploring the horizon for new and exciting opportunities to keep SCCC in the spotlight as a primary educational and economic development resource for our community. As you will see in this issue of Stone Soup, SCCC is highly visible.

Enjoy,

Dean Baker
