The 2007 Michigan Writing Centers Association Ideas Exchange will be held at the Muskegon Community College on Saturday, October 20th. Submission deadline and details have not be announced yet, but the deadline will likely be late September.
This year Western Michigan University's Writing Center consultants will be able to participate in two special sessions focused on developing articles for the Writing Lab Newsletter (WLN). In one session, Grand Valley State University English Composition tutors and Western Michigan University English 1000 Writing Studio tutors will discuss how their programs represent best practices in writing center pedagogy, although the tutors work inside a classroom setting. The session will begin a collaborative article for the Tutor Column of the WLN. A second session will invite individuals to share their histories with the Michigan Writing Centers Associtation. Likely to attract directors as well as tutors, this session is also a beginning conversation that should lead to an article focused on what the state writing center organization offers that the International Writing Centers Organization and East Central Writing Centers Association do not.
Finally, all tutors are welcomed to continue Western's tradition at the Fall Ideas Exchange. From 2002 through 2007, Western has been representated at this conference. This year proves to be as rich in presentation possibilities as always.
