This Wednesday, March 11, is our monthly business meeting in MRCN 217 at 6:00 PM. I hope you can join us and to add your energy and ideas to the stew.
All the boring stuff with (Yawn!) the constitution and the election of this year's officers is behind us. Now we're putting together a roster of exciting events and activities. There are three main projects we're going to make decisions on this week:
- Events: The events committee has been chewing over the possibilities and has come up with a proposed approach to events over the next year, plus some activities for this month. Come give your input to tweaking the plan and your ideas for more cool things to do.
- Journal: Andrew Keese has been outlining a plan for a graduate literary journal. Come be a part of the decision on whether and how to do that. If you ever wanted to be an editor for love or credentials, this might be your foot in the door.
- Conference: Are we going to host a graduate mini-conference this summer? It's a huge task, but an exciting one as well. This is a decision we need to make ASAP if we're going to do it this summer. Come consider the problems and possibilities. If we move forward–in the summer or later in the year–it's another great opportunity for your professional development, as well as a chance to hobnob with literate folks from all over.
I'm looking forward to seeing all of you there. We have a small department, but one stacked with smart and devoted grads who know that education and success aren't something poured into our brain for a tuition, but experiences only we can make happen.
