Hi, all--

I just wanted to put forward two more names for possible inclusion on our
Executive Board. 

The first is my colleague and regular collaborator Donna Dunbar-Odom. She
came to composition studies by way of basic writing in the field. She taught
basic writing and directed the writing center at a regional campus in
Indiana in the 1980s. She knew there had to be something more to teaching
basic writing than grammar drills and sentence-to-paragraph exercises. So
she attended CCCC and ended up at a panel on basic writing/reading
connections with Mariolina Salvatore, David Bartholmoe, and Anthony
Petrosky. She was wowed, as you can imagine.

So she chose to enter the PhD program at Pitt to study with Barthomae and
Salvatore, both of whom ended up on her dissertation committee.

As she put it when I asked if she¹d be interested in throwing her hat in on
this, ³Absolutely! I¹d be honored. Them¹s my roots!²

More on Donna can be found  at

e=faculty

The other is our new Director of the Writing Center and the Basic Writing
Program (beginning Fall 2009): Tabetha Adkins. She¹s doing some fascinating
work in new media and, especially, Amish literacies (the subject of her
dissertation). Lots of really exciting work on ethics in ethnography and
fabulously interesting ways to integrate the student¹s lived experiences
into the composition classroom. At University of Louisville, she studied
basic writing with Bruce Horner and Min Zhan-Lu. She¹ll have tons to add as
well, especially as she takes over our basic writing program here at
A&M-Commerce. 

Her vita is available online at
http://tabethaadkins.com/main/page_curriculum_vitae.html

What cha think? Can we add these two members to our crew? Not only are they
both wicked smart and committed to at-risk students. They are both SO much
fun! 

Thanks!
Shannon
