[CALIBK12] Fresno Pacific University starts second online cohort

[Kathy McLaughlin]

I will also second that!  Out of all of the courses I took in my  
education career, my library media credentialing classes were the  
most relevant and practical.  I, too, enjoyed the personal  
interaction with peers, but would be willing to give the online route  
a try, considering the excellence of the program.
