Conferences beam to campus

     Over the next two weeks, one international and one national
teleconference will be beamed to the studios atop Pearson Hall,
allowing participants at the University of Delaware to exchange ideas
with nationally known experts and with colleagues at other
institutions.


Hospice program on 'Living with Grief'
     On Thursday, March 30, the College of Nursing will join more than
1,000 other community-based organizations in the United States and
Canada as local hosts for a live, satellite-video conference entitled
"Living With Grief: Children Mourning, Mourning Children."
     Sponsored by the Hospice Foundation of America, this conference
will be moderated by Cokie Roberts, special correspondent for ABC
News, and will allow University participants to exchange comments and
questions with panelists and participants at other sites.
     Locally, the conference will conclude with a discussion chaired
by Madeline Lambrecht and Clare Conner, nursing. Conner is a former
hospice nurse.
     The teleconference will run from 1-4:30 p.m. For detailed
information or to register, contact Lambrecht at 831-4549.


Forum encourages careers in tourism
     At 2 p.m., Wednesday, April 5, the University's Hotel, Restaurant
and Institutional Management Program will sponsor a local broadcast of
the first-ever National Campus Forum on Tourism.
     This teleconference will link Delaware students to the U.S.
Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D.C., and to over 60,000 students
enrolled in similar degree programs across the country.
     Sponsored by the American Hotel & Motel Association and the
Council on Hotel, Restaurant, & Institutional Management in
cooperation with the White House Conference on Travel and Tourism, the
National Campus Forum is designed to excite students about careers in
tourism and inform them of the issues to be examined at the first-ever
White House Conference on Travel and Tourism. President Clinton has
been invited to address the conference.
     Because seating is limited, registration is required. To
register, or for more information, call the Hotel, Restaurant and
Institutional Management Program at 831-6077.
