Dear Reader:
Welcome to Butler University’s bi-annual online bulletin! As part of the
University’s overall attempt to continue promoting environmentally
friendly initiatives, we are hoping this is the first of many publications
we can house online for your viewing pleasure.
As you “flip” through the bulletin’s online pages, be sure to notice that
there are many places where you can click to immediately jump to
pages further along in the bulletin, go back to where you were, or link
to outside websites and sources. You can also use the arrows provided
on the bottom of the page to move back and forth, or the table of
contents option on the bottom left hand side, which allows you to
select your range of pages within the document.
When using the Search function, you are limited to 25 results, so please
be specific in your wording. For example, if you’re searching for tuition
