Eutaw Street Baltimore, Maryland 21201 Dear Ms. Boucher and Ms. Nast: President Flsh~r forwarded to us your letter describing your part in developing a course in women's studies at the College of Notre Dame. We are working on a similar project and were delighted to hear of your success. We are presently engaged in applying for a planning grant to allow us to create several courses, departmental and interdisciplinary, in women's studies in the Arts and Humanities and possibly the social Sciences. such courses fit easily and logically into several new curriculum programs that Towson has initiated so we are in the pleasant position of receiving both departmental and administrative support from the beginning. Your experience and support in this area would be invaluable to us, and we would- be happy to meet with you at your convenience. Sincerely yours, E;Iaine Hedges Associate Professor English Depa~tment Sara Coulter Assistant Professor English Department
