Subject: My Good News

 .  . . is

     1. I am retiring at the end of July, concluding 43 years in the 
City
    College system (I am the most senior employee in any category!) I
     resigned as Director of Assessment of the college at the beginning 
of
     this semester, but will complete my twenty-first year as chair of 
the
    department.
     2. I will begin work on a new textbook soon, the fifth level of a 
now
    four-level ESL series, Writing Academic English, entering its fifth
    edition.
    3. My wife and I will be going to Paris in May and probably to New
     England some time in the fall so I can continue my quest to run in 
all
    fifty states (I'm at twenty-nine, but alas, have already run in
    Georgia).
    4. My grandson is now three.
    5. Finally, tomorrow I turn sixty-six on St. Patrick's Day.
    Best to all,
    Alan

    Hello, CBW EB!

     And so it appears while I was looking the other way CCCC landed on 
my
    doorstep. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

    My deepest apologies for being out of the loop. In "good news" I'll
    tell you more about why, but for now:

    1. When shall we meet? Some of you were able to respond to Hannah's
     Doodle poll @   
http://doodle.com/27fpqwnwiwnzg2dnhzhs6sei/admin#table

     >From what we have thus far, it appears no time is going to work 
for
    everyone. Kelly Ritter has made arrangements to stay an extra day,
    which opens up several options Saturday afternoon. Please consider
    those options when filling in the Doodle poll. If I'm remembering
     correctly, many of our CBW EB members must leave by Friday, but 
let's
     get a better understanding of what's possible on that front. I may 
be
    able to stay through Saturday if need be, as well.

     Suggestion: After CBW meeting, if everyone isn't too fried. Could 
meet
     after/over dinner, perhaps in the same room. I know everyone won't 
be
    available, but we can do some good business online before and after.

     2. Attached are the minutes from the 2010 meeting. Please review. 
Send
     potential agenda items to me (and Hannah, with Liz). We will 
compile
     this week and send out agenda early next, along with meeting time 
and
     place once decided. At that time, we will also send finalized 
agenda
    for CCCC workshop (CBW Program) and SIG.

    3. Good news! Following the CBW EB tradition of beginning with good
     news since we last met (and following Hannah's great lead of 
requesting
    that info be shared online), I'm requesting that we share with one
    another some good news since Louisville.

    Been some exciting stuff happening for me since we last met.
    a. Personal stuff: Got married (!) and moved into our new home
    Professional stuff:
    b. Susan and I published the 2009/2010 Double Issue of BWe.
    c. I published article in latest issue of Computers and Composition
    Online, with colleagues Adkins and Dunbar-Odom
     d. Leave last fall to complete work on second book project, which 
also
    lead to completing our first documentary on the subject and several
    grants (still pending)
     e. With Deborah Mutnick, I hosted (just last week!) a conference on 
our
    campus with theme Writing Democracy
    (http://writingdemocracy.weebly.com). We'll also be co-editing a
    special issue of Community Literacy Journal on the subject. Pumped
    about that.
    f. With Laurie Grobman, Jenn Fishman, and a cast of others, we just
    submitted a CCCC Task Force statement on Undergraduate Research.
    e. With Bump Halbritter, it seems we may publish a special issue of
    Kairos dedicated to digital scholarship by undergraduates.
     f. With a graduate student and help of local history librarian, I 
was
    able to install a Texas Historical Marker at the oldest African
    American church in Commerce, the first to commemorate a building in
    this historically segregated neighborhood.
    List goes on. I'll stop there. A good year, though a busy one. ;)

    You?
    Shannon
