Summary of this past quarter in Lit Collab: we got to know each other, vented about classes and professors, distributed the Very Unofficial Collection of Helpful Hints for New Lit Students, went on a tour of the Book Arts lab, held a peer advising session for next quarter's classes, and started a little writing group. We also got a paper recycling bin in room 143. A few of us started using Wordie.
What is the Very Unofficial Collection of Helpful Hints for New Lit Students? It's a 10-page pamphlet/zine organized by last year's Lit Collab members for this year's new students. It includes notes about people and places, practical tips about classes, myths debunked, the library explained, a lot of recommendations for classes, secrets of the English department, information about Study Abroad, and more. You can download it as a PDF.
Our plans for next quarter: organizing another Scrabble evening (see photos of last year's Scrabble tournament), further decorating room 143, getting a stapler for the computer lab (and chaining it to the wall), bringing Robyn to one of our meetings to chat about the Lit program, holding a more effective peer advising session, and...who knows what else? Maybe designing and ordering some CCS Lit t-shirts?
I have a class next quarter during our usual meeting time, so we're probably going to move meetings from Wednesdays at 5 pm to Wednesdays at 2:30 pm.
