[AG-TECH] WVU and AG for VE REU site

[Barbara A. Kucera]

This is absolutely the type of applications we're seeking, Frances, to 
determine what works best.  I'm delighted to hear that you'll be using the 
AG for these activities.

What type of training seminars to you have in mind?
Do you have colleagues at other institutions with whom you would like to 
collaborate in the research seminars?
Do you envision the research symposium at the end of the project as a large 
central activity using the AG in an auditorium setting, or as a distributed 
number of remote sites participating in the regular AG manner?

This has great potential; I'll look forward to hearing more about what 
you're doing.

Regards,

Barbara
