CEP continues to expand its on-line presence and its use of the Internet as a tool for linking educators, scholars and students in Eastern Europe and the NIS with their counterparts in the West.

CEP's World Wide Web site (http://cep.yale.edu) has become a popular place to turn for information about CEP's activities, applications for its Visiting Faculty Fellow program, and information about its partner universities. The CEP Web site contains all the information and documents necessary to apply for a teaching position with CEP; an electronic version of this newsletter; and pointers to many of the 70 universities where CEP currently teaches. In the first two weeks after the site became active on CEP's new server (cep.yale.edu), close to 800 people visited the site from 30 countries. Almost 300 of these visitors downloaded the application materials for CEP's Visiting Faculty Fellow Program.

The Web site will also contain in the coming weeks more detailed information on CEP's new On-Line Mentors program, linking scholars and students in Eastern Europe with specific research interests with counterparts in the U.S. and elsewhere in the West.

The new address for our automated mailing lists is: listproc@cep.yale.edu. Currently CEP hosts six public lists on topics from higher education to job opportunities in the region. CEP also maintains a list to distribute major announcements to those interested in the mission of CEP. For a full list of the available topics, send mail to the above address with the word 'LISTS' in the body of the message.

We look forward to seeing you on-line!
