<h1>WHO IS LACS?</h1>
<p>
The first two meetings of the LACS group in 1984 and 1985 not only produced
the Liberal Arts Model Curriculum, they also created a workable model for our
organization and meeting style, our group membership, and our working principles
that help determine what we do.
</p>
<p>
The LACS group meets once a year. Except for its 1984 and 1985 meetings, which
were supported by a grant from the Sloan Foundation, LACS operates with no budget.
To cover the cost of each annual meeting, a different member's home institution
agrees to host the meeting and provide food, lodging, and meeting space. The other members individually find funding for their
own travel to that meeting. Each meeting is a 1-1/2 day event, and its goals
and outcomes are more carefully described on the <a href='what-we-do.html'>What We Do</a> page.
</p>
<p>
In addition to our annual meeting, LACS usually schedules an informal session
at each year's ACM/SIGCSE Symposium. The major goal of that meeting is to set
the agenda for the upcoming summer meeting. All LACS members are working members,
in the sense that everyone contributes materially to the projects that are currently
on the table. The main reason that the group's size remains small is to ensure
our ability to work effectively on specific curricular projects that help
advance the principles and practice of liberal arts computer science education.
For more detailed information about these projects and their outcomes, see
the <a href='what-we-do.html'>What We Do</a> page.
</p>
<p>
Organizationally, LACS is a small group of individuals who work to improve computer
science education within the special setting of liberal arts institutions. Our
membership size remains at about 16-18 members so that we may maintain our work style.
