| Student Chapter works with Rhodec on Affiliated Programs Table In the summer of 2003, the Strategic Planning Committee (SPC) worked with Rhodec's Susi Santorelli to answer some of the questions surrounding affiliate programs. Our Affliiated Programs Table (below), the result, is a great example of one of our best publications yet. It is very comprehensive and answered the many questions often debated by students. Following much interaction with Rhodec and the related bodies, we can now present a coherent table. Please see the Table below.. Sheree Schold, 2003-2004 SPC Chairman |
