Fall 2008 NewsNotes Welcome

Welcome to the Fall 2008 Issue. We have been very pleased with our blog format that has allowed users to post comments and make additions to the issue when needed. This provides a more dynamic publishing environment for the sharing of announcements and information among MELUS members. Users may also post time-sensitive items such as CFPs or job announcements. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Please limit comments to topics relevant to MELUS or NewsNotes. The editors reserve the right to edit or delete postings. If you have questions feel free to contact Dr. Katharine Rodier, Professor of English & Director of Graduate Studies, Marshall University, 1 John Marshall Drive, Huntington WV 25755-2646, rodier@marshall.edu or Dr. Monica García Brooks, NewsNotes Technical Editor, Marshall University, brooks@marshall.edu.
