BE PROUD noteworthy and in the news
Terry Beck, education, was quoted in New Jersey Family magazine in a story about how to inspire reluctant children to read more. Julie Nelson Christoph, English and Center for Writing, Learning, and Teaching, will present next month at the Writing Research Across Borders conference in Bogota, Colombia. Her talk is titled "Which Harry Potter Character Best Represents Your Writing Style? Social Media Personality Quizzes as Peer-friendly Writing Center Assessments." (P.S. We've taken the quiz, developed in CWLT last year, and it's better than butterbeer.) In early January Andrew Gardner, sociology and anthropolpgy, led a training workshop in ethnographic methods for research assistants conducting fieldwork in Qatar. The workshop was part of a larger, three-year project, led by Karen Exell (University College of London), that will explore the social and cultural impact of the opening of Qatar’s new National Museum.
Lynda Livingston, business and leadership, and Andrew Crosby ’17, president of Four Horsemen, a nonprofit peer-to-peer lender run by students, were quoted in U.S. News & World Report in a feature about the essentials of peer-to-peer lending.
