Join us later this week (Wednesday and Thursday) for two events
celebrating student research and writing. The Celebration of Student
Writing is sponsored by the Converging Literacies Center (CLiC), in deep
collaboration with the Department of Literature and Languages and Gee
Library.
Celebration of Student Writing: Part I
On Wednesday, May 13, from 2:30 to 4:00, we celebrate first-year
researchers with a sprawling series of interactive events held on the
second floor of the MRC. Presenters at the Celebration of Student
Writing are our own English 102 students, sharing the results of their
final ethnographic research projects with the entire campus. It is a
tradition that began Spring 2007, and it is always informative,
engaging, and a great deal of fun!
More information at
http://faculty.tamu-commerce.edu/scarter/csw_invitation.html , including
a video describing the event and sharing images, video, and audio from
previous Celebrations of Student Writing.
Celebration of Student Writing: Part II
The following afternoon (Thursday, May 14, 4:30-7:10), we begin a new
tradition: celebrating graduate students writing with new media. Spring
2009, the Department of Literature and Languages offered the a new
graduate-level course: Writing with New Media. Part II of the
Celebration of Student Writing is a new media festival, including
thirteen different video projects on everything from the experiences of
international students ("Voices of Newcomers") to video poetry (series
called "American Faces") to instructional video ("A Parrot's Life"),
documentary ("I Hate Writing" and "Conversations on Writing'), And much,
much more.

our projects.
I hope you can join us for one or both of these exciting events!
Yours,
