Job Search Seminar Scheduled
 Attention Instructors, Ph.D. candidates, and all interested parties!
A Job Search Seminar will be held next Monday, September 25th, at 3:00
p.m. in HC 3104. Jon Bolton and Joy Leighton will review job search strategies, provide sample
cover letters and curriculum vitae, and discuss how to prepare your dossier for the
job search in English.
Session on the Americans with Disabilities Act
and on Sexual Harassment
Each year we arrange for a special session on the Americans with Disabilities Act
and on sexual harassment to be given for the English Department. This year's session is scheduled for
4:00 to 5:30 p.m., Wednesday, September 27, 2000 (room to be arranged). The presenters will be Kelly
Haynes (Director, Program for Students with Disabilities) and Janet Saunders (Executive Director,
Affirmative Action-Equal Opportunity Office). The session is mandatory for new faculty members,
new GTAs, and department members who were not able to attend a previous session. Of course others
are also welcome to attend.
Picture Perfect Picnic
The sun came out just in time for Craig Bertolet to snap pictures
of the record crowd at this year's English Department picnic. In case you missed it or had your eyes
closed, check out the Picture Gallery.
Panels, Speakers Needed for English Hours
If you are interested in organizing a panel or presenting a paper for colleagues
in the English Department, I'm still looking for presenters for both fall and spring semesters. For more information,
or to schedule an English Hour, please contact George
Crandell.
Question of the Week
With each publication of The English Channel, I'll be selecting a
"Question of the Week" to feature in The English Channel Forum. Of course, I ask that you please
send me your suggestions, by the usual deadline for the publication of
the newsletter. This week's question: "What are some good strategies for getting a discussion started?" Please respond to the question in the Forum. If you have a
suggestion for "Question of the Week," please send it to George
Crandell. If you've forgotten your password, please contact
George Crandell.
Marvyn Petrucci's article on
the relationship between Robert Frost and Amy Lowell appears in the current issue of The
Robert Frost Review.
