[CBW_Exec] CBW Exec Board meeting Agenda +

[Lalicker, William]

Great idea, Shannon! So here is my update, following the great entry from my wonderful colleague Hannah Ashley.
 
Professional updates: 
 
1. In the past year, I chaired a double search that yielded two excellent new colleagues:

*	
	Kuhio Walters, from the University of New Hampshire, with strengths including visual rhetoric and intercultural rhetorics (and many other strengths I will discover once I know him better!);
*	
	Jeff Sommers, from Miami University (Middletown), an established scholar, inventive teacher, and all-around good person who brings his editorship of Teaching English in the Two-Year College to West Chester University.

Both of these new colleagues have much to contribute to our basic writers, and to those of us who teach basic writing.

2. I've been made Director of the university's Global Development Collaborative, which means I help facilitate the internationalization of our curricula, study abroad partnerships on every continent, transnational research projects linked to international institutions, and the like. One thing I hope to do is to make study abroad more accessible to all students, whatever their financial status. And I look forward to learning more, through this position, about the intersection of L2 learning and basic writing, as some of our partnerships aid EFL programs at overseas institutions.

3. I continue as Co-Director for Faculty Development for our Composition Program, working on pedagogical issues with everybody who teaches writing--an enviable job, as I have such good colleagues.

Personal updates:

Life goes on as usual; my daughters Ann (10) and Kateri (8) have become serious Nordic skiiers on a recent trip away from not-very-snowy metropolitan Philadelphia to the megafrosty Adirondacks, and continue to surprise and delight us daily.

 

See you all in SF soon.

Bill Lalicker
