The program for the 16th BCCE is in place. It consists of 620 papers and approximately 80 workshops. There is an array of sessions devoted to curriculum development, instructional methods, and chemical education research. In addition, results from the NSF Systemic Initiatives and their Adapt/Adopt spin-offs will be featured. There is also a strand of sessions that follow the scholarship of teaching and learning and its relationship to everything from curriculum design to service learning to future faculty development. We have built a generous gap into the middle of the day--between noon and 2 p.m.--so that you can relax, reflect, and pursue your interests between sessions.

We emphasize that this is a dynamic conference. Go to the Web site http://www.umich.edu/~bcce for an up-to-date schedule as well as to register. Program highlights follow.
