D'Ann,

I'm a bit confused.  The job is for Director of the Writing Program and
Director of the Writing Center, yet you sign your name with Director of the
Writing Program. Is the position really an assistant director of the
Writing Program?  Or is it for co-director of the Writing Program?  What is
the relationship between these program directors and the writing center
director position?
