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!
