Online Workshops on StudentAffairs.com Stu Brown StudentAffairs.com The Spring 2001 StudentAffairs.com online workshops for student affairs administrators are now set. As in the fall, the online courses will be utilizing the latest in course management software--Web Course Tools, better known as WebCT.
