Special Report Writing Center Shows Age Can Be A Fascinating Number When most young adults go to college, they don’t normally make friends who are 10 years younger or 70 years older than them. That is, unless they work at the Rowan Writing Center. The RWC – a branch of the Writing Arts Department that offers writing tutoring services to students across the campus – has, since last fall, been running community outreach programs with clients at opposite ends of the lifespan spectrum: An elementary school class and a senior citizen assisted living facility. Writing Arts assistant professor Celeste Del Russo, director of the Writing Center, set up writing workshop programs at the two institutions – The Terraces at Parke Place senior facility in Sewell and the Thomas E. Bowe Elementary School in Glassboro – as a life experience for her tutors. “These programs,” Celeste said, “keep our tutors connected to the community and to the real world. The work we’re doing with the seniors and with the school kids is more than just a service activity line on a resume. It keeps them grounded and connected and helps them grow as individuals.” “Peggie is my friend,” 22-year-old Laura Kincaid, a three-year Writing Center veteran, said of her 91-year-old writing partner at the Terraces. “She’s a fascinating woman. She was sickly as a child and grew up in a hospital. By age 16, she was working in a gas station. Peggie was a journalist and a writer and still considers herself an ‘avid proofreader.’ “I truly enjoy the time I spend with her,” Laura said. “We exchange email and I still visit her from time to time.” At the Terraces, the goal for RWC tutors is to “capture the moment, to get these life stories chronicled,” Celeste said, explaining that many of these experiences might be lost forever if not for this project. While the program at the Terraces was designed to coincide with National Assisted Living Week back in September, Celeste said the RWC has shifted its focus to celebrate National Poetry Month in April. “We want our tutors to help the seniors turn their memories into poetry.” At the Bowe school, the Writing Center tutors are working with gifted and talented students in grades four through six, concentrating on the “Girls Will Be Girls” writing group. “We want these young students to build confidence in their writing,” Celeste said. “By putting their work on display, they see their writing has value and is appreciated by others.” Writing that has value and is appreciated by others: These goals are being achieved by 11-year-olds and 91-year-olds with the guidance and assistance of the Rowan Writing Center and the Writing Arts Department . . . proof of the importance of what we do every day – both inside and outside our classrooms. It’s Time to Order and Administer Your Student Evaluations If you haven’t already done so, be sure to order “Student Evaluation of Teaching Effectiveness” surveys for each of your classes this semester. In addition to providing you with feedback on your pedagogical performance this spring, you will need these Evaluations for your upcoming recontracting packet. While students can complete these surveys on their own time, it is strongly recommended you dedicate time during class for students to fill out the evaluation, leaving them alone in the class as they do so. Click here for more information on how to order the evaluations, instruct your students on how to access the survey, and send reminders to students who might not have yet completed the form. For more information, contact Natalie Kautz at the Faculty Center. Department Diversity Council Focuses on Equity, Inclusion The Writing Arts Diversity Council – formed earlier this semester – is hard at work on many exciting projects to attend to diversity-related needs in the department and to work toward increasing equity and inclusion for faculty, staff, and students. Following an informal listening tour, the 20 council members have taken up subcommittee work on staffing, professional development, student concerns, and curriculum. Projects include production of a faculty fact sheet on the characteristics of the Rowan student body, assessing needs and opportunities related to race and adjunct faculty, adding diversity-related resources to the Instructor Support Site for the First Year Writing Program, and partnering with the Office of Social Justice, Inclusion, and Conflict Resolution for professional development. The passion and dedication of the Writing Arts Diversity Council is inspiring and offers great hope for our department’s continued and growing excellence. (Editor’s Note: Thank you to colleague Rachael Shapiro for this update,. Please contact her for more information on the council, to discuss its initiatives, and to volunteer to serve in the fall semester.) CCII Textbook Grant Helps Students Save Significantly Congratulations to Writing Arts colleagues Jude Miller and Amanda Haruch who – along with Sam Kennedy from the Campbell Library staff – received a Textbook Alternative Program Grant that will enable the department to replace our College Composition II textbooks with Open Educational Resources. It’s estimated this switch will save Rowan students somewhere between $100,000 and $166,000 per year. In addition to the cost savings, Jude said the grant will “further promote accessibility, inclusion, and affordability” throughout all sections of CCII and “will also afford us the space to more purposefully curate readings and course materials from diverse voices.” Great work, Jude and Amanda! You are saving our students money and upgrading our teaching materials at the same time. WA Student to Have Nonfiction Piece Published Writing Arts student Jackie Domenus will have her personal essay “Tomboy” published in the nonfiction section of an upcoming edition of Watershed Review literary magazine, a publication of the University of California at Chico. Launched in 2012, Watershed Review reports its mission as being “to publish literature and visual art that illustrates diversity in thought and experience, and an awareness of literary tradition in conversation with the shifting edges of genre. . . . and a Few More Upcoming Activities and Events
Help Pick the Date For ‘Writing Arts Night at The Phillies’ Tickets for the first-place Philadelphia Phillies are flying out of Citizens Bank Park faster than they have in a while, which means we need to start narrowing down our potential days for “Rowan Writing Arts Night at the Phillies.” Please take a moment to fill out this Doodle Poll and let us know how many of these nine dates in June and July you would be able to join your colleagues, family, and friends for a night at the ballpark. Please put a number after your name indicating how many tickets your group would like. (See my entry for an example.) The magic number is 25 people as that’s the threshold needed to get a $4 per ticket discount. Last year’s group enjoyed our left field location in Section 330, which – for this year – would mean each seat would cost $24, (discounted from $28). FYI, the opponents we might see are the Arizona Diamondbacks (June 10, 11,12), the New York Mets (June 24 ,25, 26), or the Los Angeles Dodgers (July 15, 16, 17).

(The session) will explore the concept of contract grading in our classes and look to maximize our current portfolio assessment practices.” Light refreshments will be served and you can contact Kristine Lafferty for more information. “Listening, Learning & Taking Action” Sessions Set On the heels of last week’s hate-speech-filled protest that the Rowan community turned into a celebration of support for the differences that make our campus community strong and special, the university’s Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) has scheduled a series of Listening Tour sessions. These meetings – planned for 5 p.m. Monday April 15, Noon Wednesday April 17, and 11:30 a.m. Monday April 22 (click here to RSVP) – will allow all students, faculty, and staff to share their experiences with diversity and their thoughts on how Rowan can best address these important issues.

Please don’t forget to bring a donation for The S.H.O.P. as our grocery cart will be in the meeting room. We’ve already filled one cart this semester and it would be great to top off a second one before summer when students’ need for food is at its greatest. Also, if you attended 4Cs in Pittsburgh last week, this is the perfect opportunity to drop off any toiletries you might have picked up during the conference. Thank you! Medallion Winner Barton Picks Up Another Award Rachel Barton, recipient of this year’s Excellence in Writing Arts Medallion, will be picking up another honor before graduation: The Dr. James M. Lynch Jr. Courage in Adversity Award. The Faculty Senate Awards Committee selected Rachel from more than a dozen nominees for the award that is presented to a senior who has overcome circumstances of extreme hardship to achieve an education. The award is named for Dr. Lynch, who spent 22 years at Rowan University as Dean of Students and a faculty member and administrator in the Department of Educational Leadership. Rachel will receive her award at the Celebrating Leadership Awards ceremony on Sunday, April 14 at 4 p.m. in the Chamberlain Student Center ballroom. A Rowan Medallion (left) is the highest honor the university bestows upon a graduate to acknowledge superior performance in a particular area or field. Winning one Medallion is special; winning two is extraordinary. Congratulations, Rachel! Both honors are well deserved. Sharpen Your Pencil: More Dates and Deadlines
Perfect Round Boosts Quizzo Team to Second - Again “The outlook wasn’t brilliant for the Quizzo team that night; the lead looked out of reach and our score was such a fright.-*” However, unlike the ill-fated Casey and his three-pitch strikeout, the Writing Arts competitors pulled out a perfect 10-for-10 final round over spring break for a second-straight second-place finish at P.J. Whelihan’s Quizzo Night. With the competition being held just before the start of the NCAA basketball championships, the final category, fittingly, was “Name the tournament entrant with these nicknames.” We were the only team who knew where the Anteaters (left), Gaels, Orange, and seven other competitors call home. Earlier in the evening, we were fortunate to get six of ten correct in a graphic category that asked for the names of pictured video game characters. Win or lose, it was – once again – an excellent evening. Keep an eye onEvents Update for details on our next event: “The Rowan Boulevard Escape Room Challenge.” . . . (*- Apologies to Ernest Lawrence Thayer) Last Call for Employee Tours of Hollybush Mansion Thursday, April 4 is the final day of this spring’s series of employee tours of Hollybush Mansion. The tour runs from 4:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. and participants are asked to use the entrance that faces Evergreen Hall. Contact University Relations for more information. . . . The oldest building on our campus – completed in 1849 – Hollybush was the school’s first woman’s dormitory before the completion of Laurel Hall. It also served as the home for four of our first five presidents – Jerohn Savitz, Edgar Bunce, Thomas Robinson, and Herman James (our fourth president, Mark Chamberlain, chose a smaller dwelling off campus) – and it’s now used as a museum and to host university receptions. Hollybush has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1972 and a 2016 research project indicates the structure most likely was designed by John Notman (1810-1856), known as the Father of American Italianate Design Do you have a new publication, a reading, or any other event of interest coming up?
