Chicago (Nov. 30, 2007) –The presidents of Saint Xavier University and Joliet Junior College signed an agreement yesterday that allows education majors from JJC to more easily transfer to Saint Xavier to earn an undergraduate degree and teacher certification.

In a ceremony at Saint Xavier’s Orland Park Campus, Saint Xavier University President Judith A. Dwyer, Ph.D., and Joliet Junior College President Eugenia Proulx, Ph.D., signed the new 2+2 Teacher Education Articulation Agreement, which will enhance transfers of early childhood and elementary education majors.

“This cooperative relationship will enhance service for our constituents, support a smooth transfer experience, minimize duplication of instruction and build on community college and university learning experiences,” said Saint Xavier President Judith A. Dwyer, Ph.D. “We look forward to a long and rewarding relationship with Joliet Junior College.”

Under the agreement, any student who completes a prescribed block of 64 credits at Joliet Junior College with a GPA of 2.5 or better can transfer to the Saint Xavier University School of Education where they can complete 57 credits to earn a degree and teacher certification in elementary education or 56 hours for early childhood education.

“We look forward to enhancing our already excellent relationship with Joliet Junior College,” said School of Education Dean Beverly Gulley. “This new articulation agreement will greatly improve students’ ability to complete their baccalaureate degree education in four years.”

I'm the sort of hombre who loves to seek brand-new stuff. Presently I am making my personalized solar panels. I am doing it all alone without the aid of my staff. I am utilizing the net as the only path to acheive that. I stumbled upon a really brilliant website which explains how to create pv panels and wind generators. The website explains all the steps needed for photovoltaic panel construction.

I'm not sure about how accurate the info given there iz. If some experts over here who have experience with these works can have a peak and give your feedback in the site it will be grand and I'd really appreciate it, because I extremely passion solar panel construction.

Tnx for reading this. You guys rock.
