Some news-y stuff for people going to the conference in Las Vegas... (the rest of you should plan to attend next week’s meeting at the normal time and place: 6:00, Lower Gage)...
Las Vegas!
The theme of the conference is, apparently, "roads converging." Due to confusion created by incompetent IWCA organizers, we will not have any speaking sessions, but will be presenting four posters. They’re more fun, anyway. The topics: Writing Across the Curriculum-Longitudinal Study, Faculty Interviews WAC/WID, WC fellowships as recruiting tools, and something called "Assignment Roundabout."
We’re flying Frontier Airlines and, on account of inexplicable airline economics, we’ll be leaving CR in the wee hours of Oct. 29 and driving to Omaha, where we’ll board a plane to Vegas, via Denver. I’m already tired.
Some trip stuff:
-The WC is baggage-free this time: take carry-on luggage only
-Consultants should expect to be responsible for one meal per day: housing and the other meals will be covered
-Evenings will generally be open – you’re free to check out shows, tourist destinations, gambling, chapels (the WC currently has no policies related to shotgun weddings – consider taking advantage of this obvious loophole).
-We’re staying at a resort. Bring your swimsuit.
-Steve Singleton and Dan Lehn are our chaperones for the week: get excited.
...And that’s that.
