Postmarks is a newsletter that goes to friends and parents of currently enrolled UIUC students. The spring 2012 issue has a wonderful short piece on Designing Musical Experiences/the Homebrew Ukulele Union. The author, Dusty Rhodes, really gets the ideas of the class just right, and I appreciate her focus on students and their experience: http://news.illinois.edu/postmarks/spring_2012/ukulele.html
