CALL FOR PAPERS
The 99th annual meeting of the Eastern Communication Association will be held in Pittsburgh, PA at the beautiful Omni William Penn Hotel from May 1- May 4, 2008. The theme of the convention is "Making a Difference." The theme brings together three important areas—scholarship, teaching and service. Each of these areas makes a difference to the discipline, and together they make a great difference in those we reach within the and beyond the classroom.
I encourage you to submit to me your ideas for panels and roundtables by October 15, 2007. At the interest group business meeting in Providence, we discussed the following panel ideas: best practices in service learning, outcomes and assessment, graduate students teaching at community colleges, and storytelling as part of the basic course. If you are interested in any of these topics, please email me and I will get you connected with the person who is organizing the panel. If you have other ideas, please email them to me following the format listed in the attachment.
Thank you for your interest in the Community College Interest Group. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Michelle Simpson
Community College Interest Group Co-Chair
