Malaney Director, Student Assessment, Research, & Evaluation Office (SAREO) Associate Professor, Higher Education University of Massachusetts Amherst I am happy to introduce our second annual case studies issue. This year's competition focused on the design of a web site for the Department of Student Life. I believe that the ideas presented here are very creative and useful. Perhaps the cases will be a spark for your own campuses. The number of participating teams is almost twice as many as last year. This year we had 29 teams participating from 27 different schools. I would like to commend all student participants and their faculty sponsors, and I want to acknowledge all of the people who helped judge the case studies. It takes a great deal of time to put together a response to a case study, and when so many people elect to take time from their regular semester work loads, I am truly impressed. With the growing interest in our case study competition, perhaps it will soon be THE annual competition for most CSP programs. Inside This Issue This year marked our 2nd Annual Virtual Case Study Competition for Masters level students in student personnel administration, counseling or higher education administration graduate programs. Almost double the number of teams from last year (a total of 29) entered this year's competition. They were given a technology-oriented scenario with the charge of critiquing a fictional Student Life web site with the goal of reviewing and proposing changes to the pages. Click here to read full scenario... We have dedicated the Spring 2003 edition of our e-journal to the final presentations of all participating teams. Instructions on how to view the team projects are listed below. Next year's Virtual Case Study Competition will take place in February 2004. Registration information will be posted on our Web site in Fall 2004. For general information about the 2003 Virtual Case Study Competition, you can visit our VCS section at studentaffairs.com/vcs.
