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.<BR>
<BR>
Celebration of Student Writing: Part I<BR>
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!<BR>

<BR>
Celebration of Student Writing: Part II<BR>
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.<BR>
