Dear Basic Course Interest Group Members,
I hope your semester is off to a fantastic start and that you're staying warm or somewhat warm this winter! As you may have seen from the association-wide email blasts you have been receiving, the program draft is now available on the CSCA website and conference/hotel registration is now open for CSCA 2015 which means it's time to start making plans to attend CSCA 2015 in Madison, WI which will take place April 15-19, 2015 by renewing your membership, registering for the conference, and booking a hotel room in the CSCA block. You may also be interested in registering for the short courses and seminars that are available this year. This year, Shawn Wahl has put together a Pre-Conference entitled "Engaging the Basic Communication Course as Our Disciplinary Foundation" that may be of particular interest to you. In this Pre-Conference, a team of Basic Course Directors from across the nation will lead an interactive pre-conference experience designed to focus on the importance of communication skills, teaching assistant training, assessment, course innovation, general education advocacy, and more. This Pre-Conference will take place Wednesday, April 15 from 1:00-3:45 pm so plan to come in early to CSCA and stay through the weekend!
As always, please email me at twang@montevallo.edu if you have any questions or if I can be of any assistance to you.
