Approximately a week ago (right around April 10th, 2007) I received two letters from the VT's Institute for Science, Culture, and Environment (ISCE) in what may have been my luckiest day this year. As it turns out both my AMHDI's phase II proposal (PI), and the SMILES project (co-PI) have received summer funding . Between this and the ongoing AMWV/DARC project (Arts Museum of Western Virginia project, which is conducted by CCTAD and the Digital Arts Research Collaborative), it's going to be one busy summer (not that I am complaining ).
