[Englecturers] Name Correction

[Lash Keith Vance]

  Greetings All,
   
  I just wanted to clarify from my last email that
  what we knew as the COWC no longer exists because of
  the transfer to our new administrative unit (The
  UWP).  I was trying to draw a parrallel with
  something that people might have known about. 
   
  Now, the committee is called the Writing Program
  Committee of the University Writing Program--to be
  more accurate.  There are too many acronyms to sort
  out nowadays!

    Subject: Update and Lecturer Representative
    ELECTION
    To: English Lecturers <englecturers at lists.ucr.edu>

    Greetings All,
     
    Well, the year is winding down, and I thought I
    would provide a short summary of what has been
    happening on the Lecturer Rep front.
     
    UWP Committee on Writing Courses (COWC)
     
    As most of you know, the new COWC has been
    meeting in May and June to review job files for
    the coming year.  These files are all pre-six
    lecturers or new applicants applying for courses
    in the new University Writing Program, not those
    going up for post-six review (these were taken
    care of back in March). 
     
    I know there has been concern about the transition
    to the new UWP and how it will affect lecturers. 
    Because the transition took place so late, the new
    UWP COWC has only had a chance to meet to discuss
    the file review process, which is now holistic. 
    Also, the coming year will prove to be interesting
    as more substantive issues arise for the committee
    to consider, for the committee has not had a
    chance to tackle any other task yet besides the
    review process.  The lecturer role in this
    committee will become increasingly important as
    changes to the program are proposed, and we do
    have three votes. 
     
     
    Website Design Team
     
    Gray Scott, John Stamp, and I have helped to
    design the initial UWP website with input from
    many other people.  The site should be up in the
    next few weeks for everyone to peruse.  The new
    UWP website is not in its final version, and there
    will be an opportunity for anyone to voice any
    issues or make suggestions for elements to
    include.
     
     
    Lecturer Representative Election
     
    Nomination Process: Well, my two-year term is up
    now, so it is time for an election.  I promise
    that it won't be dragged out as long as the
    Democratic race!  So, please send me your
    nomination via email, or if you feel more
    comfortable, you can drop it off in my mailbox
    (Vance) in the English Department by MONDAY, June
    9th at NOON.  The sooner you nominate a person,
    the better it will be.  I'll try to contact them
    to see if they are, in fact, interested in
    running.
     
    Ballot Process: I'll complete a ballot form and
    put it in your box as soon as possible, hopefully
    Monday afternoon of June 9th.  Please complete
    your ballot and drop it off with Cheryl Bruseualas
    in HMNSS 1103F before Friday, June 13th at 5:00
    PM.  If she is not there, you can slide it under
    her door, and she will collect it for us.
     
    Julie Brett and I will then take a look at the
    votes and announce the result.
     
    Take care everyone,
     
    Keith Vance
