Chautauqua short courses
Dear Colleague:
I would like to make note that this is the last opportunity to participate in two Chautauqua short courses that should be important to all college and university faculty. The courses are on Energy Sustainability, and on Climate Change. They will definitely be offered this year at the University of Dayton back-to-back in May 2010. To be included, we must hear from you by May 5. (Neither course will be offered next year):
DAY-19 Energy Sustainability: What Every Faculty Member Should Know, Dr. Robert J. Brecha, May 17-19, 2010 in Dayton OH
DAY-20 Climate Change: What Every Faculty Member Should Know, Dr. Robert J. Brecha, May 20-22, 2010 in Dayton OH
Currently there is much national discussion on energy and climate. Unfortunately much of the discussion is politically slanted. We feel that today's college students who are tomorrow's leaders should have a firm grasp of the real scientific and economic facts on these issues, and not just some catchy slogans. We believe that the best way to achieve this is through their college and university faculty making academic presentations in appropriate courses. The problems are multi-disciplinary and merit discussion in a wide variety of college courses.
The Course Director, Dr. Robert J. Brecha, holds the Mann Chair in the Natural Sciences at the University of Dayton. He has made a change in his professional activities from his original research in quantum optics to his ongoing work in energy sustainability and climate change. He regularly spends time at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany where he investigates coupled energy systems, climate and economic models. Due to his research plans, in 2011 these courses will not be offered.
Detailed course descriptions and an application form are attached. If you are interested, the application form should be emailed to me by May 5 to provide time for necessary planning. Each course has an application fee of $100 and a course fee of $195. Optional on site lodging is available at a total of $174 for three nights in a private room.
Also attached is a flyer listing all of our 2010 courses. Details can be found on our web site at:

We hope that you will consider these opportunities. They could provide a real advantage to your students, and eventually to our country. We hope to hear from you!
