Mpsn's activity in 2014:mpsn put its yearly summer program on hold for a second year to identify new leadership to run the summer program. The board pursued various proposals for a revamped summer program and organization but were not able to secure enough administrative or financial support for those ideas. The board continued to solicit input from alumni and long-time supporters on potential directions for the organization, including replacing the yearly summer program with a non-residential, year-round seminar program, or with a grant program to promising students and alumni. Mpsn's goals for 2015:continue discussions with alumni and long-time supporters for new direction for the organizationhire permanent staff to carry out new vision
