Dear FCS Educators:

      This Resource Update provides research abstracts which should be filed according to the Uniform Filing Code found in the upper right hand corner of each abstract.  The purpose of these abstracts is to provide you with research based information that may be of use in preparing teaching materials, or developing newsletter articles.  If some are not of immediate use to you, I encourage you to file them for future reference.

       Your FCS Specialists have also included news releases for your use and a list of upcoming events that may be of interest to you.

Thanks for all that you do to keep Family and Consumer Science programs strong and in the public eye.

Sincerely,

Glenn Muske, Interim Asst. Director/Associate Dean
