The Conference on Basic Writing 2008 CCCC Fellowship

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The Conference on Basic Writing is pleased to announce the 2008 CBW/CCCC Fellowship, a $500 award given to a teacher of basic writing to subsidize travel to CCCC in New Orleans in April and participation in the Conference on Basic Writing Pre-Conference Workshop.


The Fellowship is intended to support basic writing instructors who might otherwise have difficulty attending CCCC; priority will be given to instructors who demonstrate how attending the CBW workshop and CCCC will benefit their development, and how they can use ideas gathered at the conference at their home institution(s) and/or other venues.

Applicants need not have had a paper accepted for presentation at CCCC.  However, if presenting at the 2008 CCCC, titles and abstracts of papers should be included with the application. Applicants for the fellowship must:

1. Clearly outline how attending the CBW workshop and CCCC will benefit their professional interests and the interests of the students with whom they work
   
   2.  Provide a plan describing how they will disseminate information and ideas gathered during the CCCC to professional colleagues and students after their attendance at the conference
   
   The Fellowship winner should plan to attend the CBW CCCC Pre-Conference workshop (the full Wednesday before the conference) and the CBW SIG.  Each year's fellowship recipient will be recognized at the CBW Special Interest Group at CCCC.
   
   To apply, send a 2-page letter, a curriculum vita, and, if applicable, title and abstract of an accepted 2008 CCCC presentation as Microsoft Word attachment(s) to e-mail message by Novem,ber 15, 2007.  Materials should be sent to: Dr. Shannon Carter
   Shannon_Carter@TAMU-Commerce.edu

or to the campus address listed below.  Please email me if you have questions or concerns.

Best regards,
