Monday, March 13, 2006
Come on, admit it: We know the "parting shot" on the back page is your favorite part of the District V newsletter, advance. So from time to time, we'll give you a second parting shot here on the CASE V Web site. Here's our first online offering:
Along the Geneva Lake, Wis., lakeshore on 241 acres of wooded hillsides, the George Williams College Campus of Aurora (Ill.) University is beautiful. Rich with history, the campus in Williams Bay, Wis., was founded in 1886 as a YMCA training college and merged with Aurora in 1992. The campus offers a wide variety of services, including undergraduate and graduate degree programs. The university also offers a full-service conference center with lodging options and award-winning environmental and adventure programs. In summer, the campus is home to Music by the Lake, a music series, and the Music by the Lake Academy of the Arts, performing arts education for all ages.
