Friends:
In case small grammar errors (including extra periods) bother you, I
have attached a revised version of the Digital Ethics flyer. Please
encourage faculty from throughout our campus to give a talk. We've
also put together a peer-reviewed journal that accompanies the
conference.
We're accepting submissions related to digital ethics this time around
(we could also use your help as manuscript reviewers - last year, we
only accepted GeoGebra-related mathematics manuscripts).
See link:

Once again, thank you for your help.
Best wishes,
Todd Edwards
