two and a half announcements
Announcement #1: After 13 years at Red Rocks, I am leaving. I will miss my faculty colleagues and students terribly. It’s been a great 13 years and I’ve been able to do many cool things with little administrative intervention. But the last year, I’ve been ever so slightly bored—not much, just a tiny bit, and I figured it would be better to get out before I’m really bored and it affects my teaching, which leads me to . . . .
Announcement #2: I have accepted a position as Assistant Professor of English and Writing Center Director at Metropolitan State College of Denver. This position has challenge written all over it. The Writing Center has been directed for the last few years by a non tenure-track faculty member and the department’s decision to hire a tenure-track person (me) reflects a reprioritizing of the Writing Center in the department’s vision.
Announcement #2.5: It is very foolish to try to finish one job, start another job, and write a textbook at the same time. I have until June 30 to wrap up a few RRCC projects. Meanwhile, I need to familiarize myself with Metro’s Writing Center, get to know the existing tutors and hire new ones to fill in any gaps, make a fall schedule, overhaul the Writing Center’s Website, and do about 50 other things before fall classes begin in August. And then there’s the textbook Amy and I are writing. We are on schedule. So. Far.
Congratulations! I was wondering how that had turned out. :-)
Congrats, Liz! It all sounds so exciting!
Congrats (again!). Just don't stop blogging. One of my summer reading
projects is to go back over all of the good ideas you've written about and
figure out how to use them in my classes. Oh, enough about me! ; - )
