Happy Friday. I hope all of you had wonderful winter holidays. I know some of you skied, others saw family, and still others were as quiet as possible. Hey, lots to talk about from the last few weeks and as we look forward to spring semester. Elizabeth W and her PRECIP team have a new publication […]
Happy Friday! And happy last day of finals week. Wee hoo! And a gorgeous day (considering we are in December and at nearly 5,000 feet) to end the semester on. We have done some stuff this semester, haven’t we? Hey a quick note to keep you updated on the cool things going on in the department. Some […]
The last Friday of classes this fall. Amazing right? With exams next week we will be at graduation and into winter break. What a great—and challenging—semester this has been. Scott has a couple of new, short essays out “The Joy Luck Club” and “Amy Tan,” in Barry Keith Grant, ed., Books to Film: Cinematic Adaptations of Literary Works (Cengage Learning, 2017), […]
Folks: And now it is December. What? How did that happen? If time goes fast when we are having fun, then man oh man we must be having fun! The Friday email has had a couple of weeks off and there is a lot to report. Take for example Jordin winning the CLA Excellence in Teaching Award for GTAs! Or […]
Happy Friday. It really and truly is November, isn’t it? The days keep getting shorter, and the nights are colder. I comfort myself in knowing that in five or six weeks the days will begin again to lengthen. Another successful week here in the department. For example, Elizabeth Williams learned this week that her co-authored […]

Happy Thursday. What? But it’s the Friday not the Thursday email! I am traveling the next few days, so thought I would get a short note out before I leave. Carl is covering the bases for me as chair until I return next Wednesday. If anything comes up that you need someone’s presence for connect […]
Happy Friday! And happy homecoming weekend. What a perfect day today, at least, for homecoming. Clearly fall and chilly when I left the house this morning just after 7 a.m. to ride to campus. But the sun is out, the leaves are beautiful, and the campus and the town look great. Every week—I mean every week—I have […]
Happy Friday, folks, as we head into October. This is the month of pumpkin spice everything, the month of falling leaves, and the month of shortening days. And this is the month where we pass the half-way mark on fall semester. It has been a whirlwind so far, right? We continue to have much to celebrate. […]
