Starting Sonoma State DEMSN in Jan '08

A couple of weeks back I got my admission e-mail to the Sonoma State DEMSN program. I can't wait to get started and it's driving me crazy that I have to wait until January but I can put the time to good use in getting my life organized for the pace of the 18-month duration.

Is anybody here going to be part of my cohort? Where are you from? What kinds of degrees and experience are you bringing into the program? Are you going to the reception later this month?

Is there anybody who's gone through the program already? What did you think? Any advice?
