Dear Colleagues,
I have three reminders for you on this beautiful summer day!
First, please remember to vote in the CWPA Election! This year we will be electing a Vice President and affirming a WPA-GO representative. Please vote by clicking on the link below. You will be prompted to log into the website, where you’ll see information about each candidate and a button to click to submit your vote. Elections close on June 4!
Second, as a reminder, CWPA is thrilled to seek applications for the second annual Bedford St. Martin's/Macmillan Learning Scholarship for a WPA from an under-represented institution to participate in the summer workshop June 23-25th at the University of Houston - Clear Lake. The scholarship amount $1,750 will be used to cover the workshop registration fees, travel, and lodging. Writing program directors and coordinators, or anyone performing the work of a WPA without a formal title, including but not limited to WPAs at MSIs (minority-serving institution) and Two-Year Colleges, who are interested to be considered for this scholarship should send the following:
Please send application materials to CWPA officers: President (councilofwpa@gmail.com), Vice President (elehman4@ivytech.edu), Treasurer (cwpatrasurer@gmail.com), and Secretary (cwpasecretary@gmail.com). Use “Summer Workshop Scholarship Application” in the subject line. Applications due by midnight on June 4!
Finally, WPA-GO is accepting nomination for Leadership Council members! WPA-GO is hosting two information sessions on Thursday, June 5 at 3pm CT and on Thursday June 12, at 10am CT. Please let graduate students in your life know about this opportunity. Find out more through the Call for Nominations.
Ever forward,
Kelly
