Personal--<BR>
<BR>
My two silly labs have gained no levels of sophistication in the past year. But they may become part of a merged family later this year. Stephen and I are getting married! No ring to share but we are shopping for that. <BR>
And a house. And trying to figure out how to sell our current homes in the current housing market. It seems likely we’ll be landlords soon. Hope to move in together by the summer’s end. Wedding in October, 2010. <BR>
<BR>
Scary! And exciting!<BR>

The City College of New York English Department MA in Language and Literacy continues to prepare teachers of college writing, basic writing, and ESL writing for employment in adult ed programs and colleges. This program was originally founded by Mina Shaughnessy in 1975 and was later developed and administered by Marilyn Sternglass. Faculty who have recently offered courses in this master's program include Kate Garretson, Elizabeth Clark, Mark McBeth, Lynn Troyka, Jane Maher, Tom Peele, and Barbara Gleason. <BR>
Two recent L&L MA graduates have recently secured full-time tenure track assistant professor positions in community colleges. Many current students and recent alumni teach adult basic education, adult ESL, or basic writing and college writing as adjunct faculty at CUNY and in other colleges and unviersities. <BR>
