AWP Two Year College Caucus Membership Increasing!

Two-year college faculty had a banner year at the 2009 AWP Conference in Chicago February 11 - 14. Some highlights included:

- Eight panel presentations featuring Caucus members, all of which were well-attended
- Two-Year College Caucus Bookfair table
- Two-Year College Caucus Meeting with over 70 attendees (a record)
- First annual Off-Site Reading at Harold Washington College, featuring three Caucus members and Harold Washington student writers

The Two-Year College Listserv increased its number of members from around 50 to over 200, and we've moved the list over to Yahoo! Groups. To join the list, go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/awp_two_year_caucus/ and click on "Join Now". We're currently working on preparing panel proposals for Denver in 2010.
