Back from the conference and sitting at my desk catching up.
Of course there was just a ton of information and I am still sorting it out. I met some directors with the same challenges and concerns that we are facing, and we had a great exchange of ideas.
Perhaps the most useful workshop for me was the one on assessment. Wow. I don’t know where to start! I just want to make sure folks are envolved and happy with their tutoring positions here at the Writing Center.
I hope my own 16 hours a week here will be enough to implememnt some of the neat ideas I've brought back such as establishing some Writing Center Workshops, brown bag lunches, and/or tea & cookie series.
Where do we want to take the writing Center next quarter? How could we be of more use here on Campus? What workshops could we offer that would be useful? Ideas?

I think that we could offer workshops of specific papers: research, narrative, etc. We could break techniques down through: outline, introduction, thesis, body paragraphs, topic sentences, and conclusion.
I think that focusing on one section at a time would allow all techniques to be covered in detail.
Just an idea.
Sounds like something you and I should work on, Sarah!
Let's begin with research . . .
