It features a variety of voices that address how academic support resources such as writing centers have served as the nucleus for students' (i.e., both tutors and their clients) sense of commun...

Born in 1939 in Mount Holly, New Jersey, he was ordained to the priesthood in 1965 in the Diocese of Trenton. His first assignment was Blessed Sacrament Church, Trenton, until his transfer in September 1971 to St. Joseph ́s Church, Toms River. In December 1971, Father Wessel was shot by a distraught young man whom, with priestly concern, he was attempting to assist. He was proposed for canonization shortly after his death. This book recounts the dramatic events leading up to Father Wessel ́s shooting and death, while celebrating his exemplary and joyous life....
Building Writing Center Assessments That Matter
No less than other divisions of the college or university, contemporary writing centers find themselves within a galaxy of competing questions and demands that relate to assessment—questions and demands that usually embed priorities from outside the purview of the writing center itself. Writing centers are used to certain kinds of assessment, both quantitative and qualitative, but are often unprepared to address larger institutional or societal issues. In Building Writing Center Assessments that Matter, Schendel and Macauley start from the kinds of assessment strengths already in place in writing centers, and they build a framework that can help writing centers satisfy local needs and put ...

Changing the Times
Changing the Times showcases the best of this writing, by Maeve Binchy, Mary Leland, Gabrielle Williams, Geraldine Kennedy, Christina Murphy, Maev Kennedy, Caroline Walsh, Theodora FitzGibbon, Renagh Holohan, Mary Cummins, Nell McCafferty, Elgy Gillespie and others. Issues of the day are articulated and explored: pregnancy, fashion, first loves, sexuality, a burgeoning feminism, an imploding Catholic Church, an exploding North. Nell McCafferty profiles a young Ian Paisley, visits New York, and talks to the mother of a girl tarred and feathered in Derry; Maeve Binchy interviews Samuel Beckett and Iris Murdoch; Renagh Holohan describes being caught in an explosion in Belfast; Caroline Walsh meets Seamus Heaney and Edna O'Brien; Elgy Gillespie encounters Muhammad Ali, Tyrone Guthrie and Robert Lowell. As the mirror of a confident young nation, and a window onto one of the most eventful decades in recent Irish history, Changing the Times grants these writings the afterlife they deserve, and offers the reader an enriching view of the past.
