Over all I'd say it's a very nice, simple, clean design, which makes me like it even more! :)
2 things:
1. All the white is kinda bright on wider screens (mine) where your content is all in the center, and there are some good 3-4 inch margins on either side of the content.
2. I'd make your "click to enlarge" images open in a new window. Even though it's easy to map a key/button use the back feature of the browser, or even click on the back button... it's still annoying imo. I dunno, it just rubs me wrong sometimes. But that's me!

Got you on the links, fixed that. For now no XSLT for me, but I'll keep it in the back of my mind to explore when I have time. Fixed the header paragraphs to use Hx instead of P
fraKtal:
Good call on the large expanse of white, I'll what I can do to slightly tone down the color. I always hate the images opening in a new window ;). Although opening all images in the same target window is okay for me. I think that's usually done with DHTML, will do a quick search.
Everyone: thanks for the comments.
I do need some help with the 'Programs' page. As you can see, the second image is floating out of the main page. How do I get the main content div to lower so the entire image is inside that div?
edit: I gave the background a slight blue color to break the white which is used as background in the main content.

Put a clearer div in the main div's to prevent the images from breaking out. E.g:
/* CSS file */
div.clearer { clear: both; height: 0px; }
<div>
<img src="your/floated.img">
<Paragraph text here>
<div class="clearer"> </div>
</div>
Because the clearer div has to go below the floating image it will stretch the main div up to make it all fit in.
/* CSS file */
div.clearer { clear: both; height: 0px; }

<img src="your/floated.img">

I've run into a slight problem. When I view the site at the university, using Fedora Core 1 and Firefox 1.0, there are no borders (solid 1px black) below the tabbed links. At home in Firefox and IE (windows) the border is there.
Could someone verify this for me maybe?

no 1px border below the menu tabs for me... debian-sarge w/ firefox 1.0
it's weird though.... I see the border when I click on one of the menu links, when the new page is loading, but only for a split second. It's like the body of the page is overlapping the border or something...

Yes I have the same behaviour. I've checked the Firefox bug pages, and as far as I can see, this is a known bug. I'm not sure if it's been fixed yet, but apparently they are working on it. So I'll probably leave it as it is now.
Two things I have noticed.
1. In IE6 there is a scrollbar at the bottom of the page that is disabled as well as the whole menu not being aligned to the center. Not sure if it should be aligned to the center, but I assume so because it looks better and thats how firefox renders the page. I did not examine the page too much under IE6 since i dont use it as my main browser.
2. In firefox there is a scrollbar at the bottom that is active, but there is nothing to scroll (ie its useless). You may want to remove it since it distracts for the otherwise great layout. I did not notice anything else amiss, but I did not examine too closly.

qazlop: thank you for the comments.
The content is now centered in IE6, and the scrollbars fixed. In Firefox, the scrollbars aren't always visible even though I've set overflow-y to scroll, but the page navigates fine of course.
