RE:             UWP Office Information


      I am pleased to announce that the UWP office is up and running 
in our temporary offices (1103 E and F) while we await the remodeling 
of the core UWP offices in HMNSS 1001.  Our new Senior Personnel 
Analyst is Cheryl Brusuelas, who has extensive UCR experience in 
academic personnel.  Cheryl's telephone number is 827-7730.  Her 
e-mail address is cheryl.brusuelas at ucr.edu.  Our new MSO is Cynde 
Sanchez, whom many of you met when she assisted the English MSO Susan 
Brown.  Cynde's new number is 827-7729, and her e-mail address is 
cynde.sanchez at ucr.edu. We are very pleased to have such experienced 
and energetic people in these important posts.


      The Writing Center is now operating in 1103.  Three of the 
tutorial rooms are being used by UWP TAs meeting students from 
various departments.  Students sign up directly for appointments or 
drop in.  The drop-in hours are posted on the outer door and windows.


      The UWP program is on the verge of announcing teaching 
opportunities for 2008-2009.   We will post the notice on these lists 
as well as in other spaces.


      The organizers of the Berkeley reading told me a few days ago 
that they would like to recruit a few more readers.  This year the 
Big Read runs from Friday, May 29 through Sunday, June 1 -- the 
weekend after the Memorial Weekend.   The University pays for travel, 
food, and lodging.  There is a modest stipend.  If you have ELWR 
experience and you would like to be nominated, please contact me as 
soon as possible.  If you have at least a year of teaching experience 
at UCR without ELWR, you might be eligible as well.


      Keith Vance, Gray Scott, and John Stamp are working with Cynde, 
Cheryl, and me to design the new UWP website.  If you have 
suggestions regarding graphics or content, please contact me.  Once 
it is up, the site will evolve as we get feedback about its 
accessibility and its representation of what the UWP does.
