EXTRA-CREDIT OPPORTUNITY

Hello, Everyone:

I'd like to announce an extra-credit opportunity for those of you who desire to pick up an extra blog post (10 points), but really, I'm creating the opportunity because I think you will truly benefit from and enjoy some of our upcoming local PD events. I will offer extra credit for a well-rendered blog post that -- obviously -- meets our blogging guidelines, demonstrates a real exigence, and ties one of the following events to what you are learning in the course so far:

1. "Composition and Copyright," Professor Dánielle Nicole DeVoss's public presentation 
2. "Creative Labor" Colloquium (it is an all-day colloquium, but they will publish a schedule of presentations, and I just ask you to attend one of them)
3. Silent Spring 50th Anniversary Symposium (it is an all-day symposium, but they will publish a series of events, and I just ask you to attend one event).

I also genuinely hope you will find something of interest in one of these sessions -- something to inspire you, to give you a vision for your present (or future), and help you think concretely about some of the implications of what we are doing in this course.

Please complete the post within 1 week of the event you attend, and send me an e-mail signaling that you have done so. (This way, I won't miss the post.) I will be attending some of these, and look forward to seeing some of you there!

-Prof. Graban
