Refreshments provided throughout and at intermission. 

Thanks to everyone for a successful Celebration of Student Writing
yesterday in the Sam Rayburn Student Center. With the CSW, we've been
publically celebrating student writing in first-year composition since
2007 and at the end of every semester thereafter. 

With today's Celebration of Writing with New Media, we extend this
important CSW with 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.

Hope you can join us!

Join us later May 13-May 14 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.
