Hi Everyone,
Please consider joining the TYCA Literacy Program Coordination Network at TYCA and CCCC this week in Baltimore. Our network focuses on supporting members with all types of postsecondary literacy program coordination labor, including faculty who do program work through service responsibilities in addition to people with formal program coordinator/administrator roles. Graduate students are especially encouraged to join the network. Although the network focuses on strategies for developing and coordinating programs in open-admissions contexts, the network is open to all members of TYCA and NCTE. You do not need to work at a community college to join the network.
To join the network, attend the networking roundtable session at the TYCA Conference on Wednesday or complete a network registration form before May 1.
A list of our activities in Baltimore is included at the end of this message.
