Earlier this year we conducted a survey of our readership to determine specific topics to include in future editions of UPDATE. This issue focuses on the broad category of the Learning Centered Community College, a popular choice among those who responded. Two articles in this edition were written by personnel from two of the 12 Vanguard Learning Colleges, designated by the League for Innovation in the Community College in 2000. As always, we welcome your comments and suggestions about current and future editions of this newsletter.
