Thanks to everyone for a successful Celebration of Student Writing yesterday in

<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Center</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>. With the CSW,
we’ve been publically celebrating student writing in first-year
composition since 2007 and at the end of every semester thereafter.<br>
<br>
With today’s Celebration of Writing with New Media, we extend this
important CSW with a new tradition:</span></font> <font face=Calibri><span
style='font-family:Calibri'>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>
<br>
Hope you can join us!<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,
