Hi All,
It has been awhile since I've
sent a news update, so, here's the latest news brief.
The last IDEA club meeting was
on March 26th. Technically, it wasn't a real meeting--it was
more or less a symposium on Intelligent Design theory.
At any rate, I graduated
yesterday, so, I won't be attending UTD this Fall. However,
there's a slight possibility I will be back during Spring '06.
Since I won't be around to run
the IDEA club this Fall, I'll need to find at least one person
who is willing to take over the club.
If you are interested and would
like more details about running the IDEA club, please visit
http://www.utdallas.edu/orgs/idea/officers.htm.
The IDEA club website will
still be up and running, as I'll still be able to manage it. In
a few weeks time, I'm going to redesign the website.
That's all the news for now.
Take care and have a great summer! :-)
Sincerely,
Wilston - IDEA Club President
P.S. This isn't the last news
update. I'll probably send out a couple more during the summer.

The IDEA club will not have any more meetings
until the start of this Fall semester.
On a final note, check out the new
IDEA Center website, which débuted on 4/14/04. The new
website has a sleek design, and it is a lot more user-friendly
than its predecessor. Moreover, it features many
useful and elaborative articles on the intelligent design-evolution controversy.
Check it out today!
Have a great summer! :)

IDEA Club Begins at University of Texas, Dallas (1/14/03)
This announcement is long overdue, however the IDEA Center is
happy to announce that an IDEA Club has been started at the
University of Texas, Dallas
(UT Dallas). This is now
the 7th official club to get off the ground, and, as always, we
hope that a couple more are currently in the process of getting
started.
The club's founder,
Wilston Nkangoh,
has a vision for the club that is broad, and hopes to discuss
not only origins issues, but also issues related to philosophy
of science, artificial intelligence, morality, skepticism,
sociology, technology, and theology. As
Wilston is a
sophomore, we hope that this club will be around for a while,
and look forward to the interested generated at the club at
UT Dallas.
This club has been in the works since
Wilston
contacted the IDEA Center about a year ago, and this
announcement itself is anti-climactic, as the club has already
been in existence at UT
Dallas for a few months.
Wilston has
worked hard and already started a website for the club at
http://www.utdallas.edu/orgs/idea/.
Please check their
News Page
for information about upcoming meetings. If you are interested
in more information, Wilston can be contacted at
Wilston@student.utdallas.edu, or you can visit their "About
IDEA Club" page.
