“Creativity and the Writing Center”
March 3, 2007 – Sacramento State University
Sacramento, California

Submission deadline: December 20, 2007

The Northern California Writing Center Association is pleased to announce a call for proposals for its 2007 annual conference on March 3, 2007, “Creativity and the Writing Center,� to be held at Sacramento State University. We are delighted to present Dr. Sondra Perl, Professor of English, Lehman College, CUNY as the keynote speaker.

Creativity may not be the first association that tutors, faculty, students, and administrators make when thinking of writing centers, but creativity is important in every aspect of writing center life, from tutor training to working with writers to running the writing center. We encourage proposals that discuss creative approaches to writing center theory and practice and the role of creativity in the day-to-day life of a writing center.

1 To submit an individual or panel proposal, send a title and abstract of 150-300 words to Professor Cherryl Smith, conference chair, at writingcenter@csus.edu. Please include presenter(s) name, institutional affiliation, and contact information, including email.
2 The submission deadline is Dec. 20, 2006. For the program registration form and additional conference information, visit our website at http://www.csus.edu/writingcenter/ncwca.
