EGADS! Business Meeting and Speaker this Wednesday the 8th at 5:30 in MRCN 217

Hello My Fellow EGADS! Members,

Our monthly business meeting and speaker presentation will be this Wednesday, April 8th at 5:30-7:00 PM in MRCN 217. I hope to see you all there.

Business Meeting: 5:30-6:15 PM

Speaker Presentation: 6:15-7:00 PM. Dr. Javier Martinez, UTB English professor and managing editor of Extrapolation, will speak on editing and publishing in academic journals.

Business Meeting Agenda:

Events: We have two items to discuss. First, we’ll finalize plans for our Salon Party at Don’s house in Los Fresnos on Friday evening, April 17th. Second, we’ll decide on whether or not to have any events and/or a business meeting in May.

Journal: Andrew is going to present a plan for a UTB English journal. We’ll vote yes or no on having the journal and probably start forming the committee for it. This is a great opportunity to get editorial experience on your resume/CV!

Conference: Alan will present the requirements and possibilities for having a UTB English student conference next year, including the the opportunity to attach our conference to the UTB/TSC Research Symposium. We’ll vote yes or no on a conference, the approximate date, and the means.

Associate Members: Dr. Murden will update us on faculty efforts to nominate undergraduate English majors for associate EGADS! membership.

Student Leadership Banquet: The SGA and Student Life are organizing a banquet for Friday April 24th. Current information is that each student organization will get tickets for five members and one adviser. In addition, awards will be handed out. We’ll need to form an ad hoc committee to nominate our members and advisers for the awards.
