Yup. Tomorrow is the launch of the fourth Composition Conference for First-Year Student Writers. I talked to Keith in between my classes this afternoon to touch base on last minute details…Now I just have to put the finishing touches on the conference program and get it to the printer. Amy’s doing a bang-up job on coordinating the details, putting out info, and making sure things are running smoothly. Very cool. Amy had the idea to open up the conference next year to include all composition courses–not just the first-year course. I think that’s going to be a great move and will put even more of a spotlight on our little comp program.Let me put in one more plug for our Keynote tomorrow night:

Keith Gilyard, “Tragicomic Hope, African American Music, and Rhetorical Education.” Wednesday, April 9 (that’s right TOMORROW) at 7pm in Boehm Auditorium (the science building). Reception to follow…and, yes, we will have a book table where you can snap upKeith’s books!

And now….the full program: 2008 Composition Conference Program
