An example of an employer might be a technical writing service. We will continue to address ways to better design our curriculum, such as the shift we made in the survey courses from one semester to two. Our department needs more tenure-track hires with specific specializations. We will continue curricular discussions and put changes into place for the upcoming catalog. As a department, we also are joining Sigma Tau Delta, an English honorary that will provide additional information to students about upcoming conferences, publishing opportunities, and graduate programs.
Curricular design is an on-going process.
To this end, we have begun a newsletter for alumni, the first issue of which was recently distributed.
