Who is ACCA?:The ASSOCIATED COLLEGES OF THE CHICAGO AREA (ACCA) is a
consortium of 16 private liberal arts colleges that was formed in 1966 with
Mark Trumbo, Dean of Aurora College, as the chairperson. Jerry Baird of Argonne
National Laboratory brought much of the energy and vision to the consortium
until his retirement in the early 1990's. ACCA's primary objective is to
promote collegiate education in biology, chemistry, computer science,
mathematics, physics, psychology, sociology/anthropology, and
business/economics by stimulating and regularizing cooperative arrangements
between the member colleges and universities and government laboratories and
other educational institutions in the use of staff and facilities. The first
divisions to take advantage of the ACCA consortium were biology, chemistry,
computer science, mathematics, and physics. The social science divisions of
psychology and sociology/ anthropology became part of ACCA in 1986. The
Business/ Economics division was added in 1990.
Time:Tuesday evenings from 7:00 to 8:45 p.m. (with a 15 minute break in the middle). Lectures will be Sept. 15 through Nov. 17, 2009.
