MESSAGE FROM PRESIDENT ANDREW HOLMAN

Greetings from the Middle Atlantic and New England Council for Canadian Studies and welcome to our website. This website is your window on the network of scholars who study, research, write about and teach Canada in the colleges and universities of our region. Here, you will find news about our members and upcoming events, and become acquainted with the resources available to MANECCS members.

MANECCS is a busy organization and its members participate in a wide range of events that examine our northern neighbor from many scholarly perspectives. In the coming year, many MANECCS members will be participating in the Association for Canadian Studies in the U.S. (ACSUS) biennial meeting in Ottawa (November 2011). We will also be preparing for our own biennial regional conference tentatively scheduled for October 2011 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

To those of you who currently enjoy membership in MANECCS, I look forward to working with you in the coming year. To those of you who are discovering MANECCS for the first time, welcome. I encourage you to explore Canadian Studies through MANECCS and to look to us for the support you need to begin studying and teaching Canada.

With best wishes,

Marsha Ann Tate

President, MANECCS
