Acknowledgements

On behalf of the FACETS Administrators, the FACETS participants, and the thousands of students who have benefited from the program, and will benefit in the future from this project, we would like to offer our heartfelt thanks to those who shared our vision from the beginning and helped make it a reality. We offer special thanks to Congressman Dave Obey, to Tom Miller, Jim Veninga, and Karlene Ferrante. Also, many thanks to Linda Bunnell for her public acknowledgements of our efforts.

We also offer our deep gratitude to our discussion facilitators and leaders -- local educators, business leaders, students, and senior faculty. They helped expand our sense of vision into the educational continuum.  Many thanks for you expertise, interpersonal skills, help,  and leadership!

We would like to thank Naomi Clement, art and design major, and dance minor, for the Views from the Bridge watercolors.
