A symposium on Virtual Higher Education will be held on Friday, October 15th, 1999 at Hunter College of The City University of New York (CUNY). The event is part of Hunter's Fourth Annual Fall Celebration and is sponsored by the Anthropology and Psychology Section of New York Academy of Sciences, the Center for Study of Gene Structure and Function of Hunter College and the Instructional Technology Group of Hunter College.
