UWP Lecturers [Gsa-english] 1B offerings for undergrads

[Gray Scott]

Hello all,

My hard-charging 1A student with the 100 signatures got a call this morning from the chancellor's office and apparently will be meeting with him. I could don my cynic's hat and grumble fatalistically about how -- unless the meeting produces millions of dollars out of thin air -- it isn't likely to accomplish much, but for the moment I'm wearing my teacher's hat: I'm happy for her, encouraged to see her initiative, delighted she applied rhetoric to a real-world situation and got a meeting out of it, and I'm wishing her luck.

  Send students to the chancellor's office or the executive vice chancellor's
  office, both on 4th floor Hinderaker.  It won't do any good to send them to
  the writing program.
