The joint ARLIS/NA-VRA Foundation Summer Educational Institute for Visual Resources and Image Management (SEI) has now been held five times: 2004 and 2005 at Duke University, 2006 at Reed College, 2007 at Indiana University, and 2008 at James Madison University. Each SEI has been fully booked with some on the waiting list. The response from attendees has been enthusiastic. The 2009 SEI will be held at Simmons College in Boston. We are pleased to announce that we are now seeking proposals for future institutes. An application is available on the SEI website at: http://www.vraweb.org/seiweb/2010hosting_app.pdf Much information about the past institutes is still available on the website at http://www.vraweb.org/seiweb/ -- quick facts, information, curriculum, instructors, and sponsors. Hosting SEI is an excellent opportunity for an institution to participate in an exciting and successful training program for visual resources and image management. We are asking for hosting applications to be submitted by October 20, 2008.
