Annual Arizona Colloquium in Ancient Philosophy

It is very interesting to see that the last four and the current "Annual Arizona Colloquium in Ancient Philosophy" are all about Plato:

13th Annual Colloquium in Ancient Philosophy - Plato's "Republic" (2008)
12th Annual Colloquium in Ancient Philosophy - Plato and Socrates on the Nature and Teaching of Virtue (2007)
11th Annual Colloquium in Ancient Philosophy - Plato on Poetry, Rhetoric, and Therapy. (2006)
10th Annual Colloquium in Ancient Philosophy - The Socratic Legacy (2005)
9th Annual Colloquium in Ancient Philosophy - Plato on Method and Plato's Methods (2004)

I am very curious to find out the reason for such orientation. Are they engaged in a long-term project on Plato's work? If you do have information about this issue, please share it with us using the comments section.
