hi janeen,
thanks. good idea (although a tad risky in instances where, if truth were
known, faculty are themselves less-than-wonderful at writing).
I'm thinking along lines of a prudent-but-productive degree of liaison with
student activities, the folks who schedule on-campus movies and concerts and
festivals and wierd contests, the kinds of things that make students' less
humdrum. I'm thinking of a poetry-slam kind of event, maybe with
impromptu teams of student writers cranking out bad poems or parodies of
good poems , which are subsequently recited, cold, by willing faculty who
are comfortable at acting goofy. all for the olympic-like judging of a
panel of student judges.
we have a may-week campus festival coming up, and we want to do something
for that. but i'm actually fearful that the festival itself might fade
for lack of interest. so long-term liaison with student life people seems
important for student-initiative stuff like peer writing consultation of the WC.
later,
james
