I think maybe next year, 90-minute workshop sessions starting at 9 and ending by 5 (9, 11, 1:30, 3:30) would be an improvement. This is a lot of network info to absorb.
The morning began with IU’s Alex Vespignani, who had to go early to catch a flight later that morning. Much of the content I [...]

Keith Morton — a Providence College English professor — is interested in cultural narrative and how [...]
Gradjeation Day
