Dan Schulz, class of '93, Communication Processes, is one-half of the Dan & Scott Show on a talk-radio website called eYada.com. Schulz and his partner draw at least 100,000 listeners nightly, thumb their noses at authority, and generally take advantage of the fact that the medium is to this point unregulated by the FCC. Dan and Scott were among those profiled as rising stars in a Time magazine cover story ("Do-it-yourself.com") earlier this year. As Schulz's partner, Scott Wirkus, told Time: "The lesson is, if you work hard and are a total wiseass, you can become a star on the Internet."

Outspoken author and education critic Alfie Kohn spoke to more than 750 educators — 600 in the Phoenix Room, and an overflow crowd of nearly 200 in the Christie Theatre — about what he views as the misuse of standardized testing. "This keynote presentation was intended to provide the community with a critical perspective of the current standards-based movement and to stimulate discussion and action," said Prof. Francine Tompkins, director of the Institute. "Based on the early feedback we have received, we clearly met our goal." During a followup discussion Friday morning, Brian Merkel, assistant professor in Human Biology, thanked the Institute for the opportunity to engage in thoughtful discussion around critical issues and encouraged the Institute to continue this type of engaging programming. Added Tompkins, "As we plan for the fall 2001 conference we will certainly keep a focus on the ongoing issues associated with learning and authentic assessments and will strive to continue to create forums for thoughtful, collegial discussion."
