A few of us met at the 2007 CCCC conference and thought that we should keep talking with, writing for, listening to, and reading one another even after the face-to-face conference ended, so here goes one attempt at that. We hope GSIG will be a space where a diverse range us (grad students in CompRhet) come together to build and shape a community. To become an author here, email gradstudentsig AT gmail.com. Thank You.

Karen Mitchell's WPA-L Post from 03.27.07

Hello, Everyone,

I posted this comment earlier on WPA and got this great response. Thanks to Michael and Rachel for starting this. As I'm just learning how to post to a blog, I'm not sure if this is the right spot.I think this is a good way to begin because perhaps folks are involved in types of activities at their schools.in their states that might be useful for others too at our own sites. So many of us don't come in before Thurs. that I think it would be fine to find a time the last 2 days, but I'd make an effort if it were to be Wed. I know Wed. evening is the Women's Forum, so that would be difficult. Anyway, thanks again.

WPA Post:
Thanks to everyone for a great conference. Although I've never written to the list before, I have a question that grew out of the session on including professional experiences in one's graduate program.Unfortunately, I didn't think of this question until after I left.Although there were many excellent suggestions,interestingly enough no one talked specifically about how to go about getting involved in C's activities, committees, etc., at the state/national levels. It seems a bit daunting at times to think about this, and I wondered if anyone has any advice or experiences to share. Thanks so much.

Sincerely,
