| Proposed: | 12/14/2010 |
| Sponsor: | Christopher Tai-Yi Lee |
| Proposal: | To create a program similar to those at other universities that allow students to create courses.

It also gives the students an opportunity to gain experience in areas that that would normally be very difficult to get. |
