University Service
My recent commitee work has included chairing the English
Program Review, two years on the Academic Standards committee,
a year on the Faculty Senate Executive Council, and two years
on the Academic Technology committee. Other service includes
membership in the Basic Comp and STW instructors' committees.
In addition, I manage the SHU weblog site, blogs.setonhill.edu, which has hosted some 400 accounts -- mostly students in my own classes, but also accounts for colleagues and University offices such as Admissions, Reeves Library, and the National Catholic Center for Holocaust Education.
My service in the Humanities Division has included doing the paperwork for the New Media Journalism major, proposing the new course Writing about Literature as part of SHU's writing-intensive course initiative, and proposing changes to the English major assessment in light of the university's recent decision to drop a university-wide portfolio requirement.
