Preparing Future Faculty (PFF) Project

At its March 6, 1999 meeting, several members of the Consortium decided to develop a proposal for the Preparing Future Faculty (PFF) Program, administered by SIGCSE. The resulting proposal was approved by the NSF/SIGCSE Leadership Team on March 26, 1999. That project has now finished, although discussions related to future projects continue.
