Description:
It seems like you can’t walk five feet in Northern California without hearing or seeing the word “sustainable.” We have been at the epicenter for the “sustainability” movement, sharing our vision for preserving resources we are lucky to have around us for future generations. However, sustainability doesn’t just apply to our natural resources, but our educational ones as well. For many Northern California writing centers, the current economic climate and ongoing education budget cuts, the changing needs of student populations, including those that historically haven’t been well served by writing centers, and the concerns about our environmental impact have brought a new urgency to discussions of sustainability.
We invite you to the Northern California Writing Centers Association Conference in 2010, co-sponsored by Mercy High School Burlingame and the University of San Francisco, in order to share what it means to dream, direct, tutor in, or benefit from centers that will continue to flourish for years to come.
