Читать книгу Engaging Ideas - John C. Bean - Страница 26

I've had the good fortune of having many mentors in the field of writing across the curriculum who helped me along the way: Jon Leydens at Colorado School of Mines, Mike Palmquist at Colorado State University, Terry Myers Zawacki at George Mason University, Chris Anson at North Carolina State University, David Russel at Iowa State University, and Chris Thaiss at University of California, Davis, among others. These mentors became colleagues, and I have also been fortunate to have had wonderful English department colleagues at California State University, Sacramento, as I grew into my role as a WAC and writing center director: Amy Heckathorn, Linda Buckley, Fiona Glade, Cathy Gabor, Cherryl Smith, and Mandy Proctor, among many others. I have also been blessed with great writing partners. Working on a book about developing sustainable WAC programs with Michelle Cox and Jeff Galin had a tremendous impact on my thinking about WAC as a movement, and now I have the great fortune of having John Bean as a writing partner. I thank John for the invitation to join him in his good and important work helping all teachers become better writing teachers.
