<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi, all--<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for your great feedback and suggestions. I think I've incorporated/addressed the changes/concerns Kathleen pointed out. Just two things, Kathleen: (1) at the "breakout groups" section in the afternoon (2:45-3:30), you suggest "Maybe start with who is doing this first part?" I'm a little confused there, so I'm not quite sure how to address your question. Maybe Hannah can jump in here? We sort of divided it up so one was responsible for the morning and hte other was primarily responsible for the afternoon (Hannah's was the afternoon). (2) Yep, Elizabeth Campbell is a new board member. I understand Barbara Gleason put the name forward and we voted her in during our Executive Board meeting. At least that's what I understand. Thanks for your suggestions and guidance!<BR>

Contact info: I've tried to get the changes to contact information worked out. Let me know if we need to make any additional changes/additions.<BR>

Title: Thanks for your great suggestion, Rebecca! Susan was unhappy with the original title for similar reasons, but I was stubborn (imagine that!). My thought/hope was that the title was working directly against the notion that what students called "basic writers" can't do should be the focus of our work (calling forward the amazing work of folks like Kurtz and Adler-Kassner and Mutnick and Gray-Rosendale and now Roozen[among others] that shows us the many, many intellectually-rigorous activities in which our students are involved every single day). So my hope was that the readers would get exactly the opposite notion from the original title. But that's two votes against it, suggesting that we absolutely need to change it. And I like the one you offered better, so if there are no objections I'd like to go with that one.<BR>
<BR>
I think we'll try to get it into the system this weekend, just in case we run into any difficulties. I'm very concerned this will be too long, but we'll see what the limits are and get it in from there.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks for your input! Attached is the revision, just in case you have any additional ideas/suggestions.<BR>
