Conference on College Composition and Communication<\/a> in Portland on March 16.<\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s really an impressive accomplishment for undergraduate students, especially for our sophomore students who have just started exploring these issues of literacy,\u201d said Dr. Jolivette Mecenes, writing program chair.<\/p>\n
Several thousand college professors, high school teachers, and graduate and undergraduate students gather for the conference, which encourages educators to network and explore teaching trends and research.<\/p>\n
\u201cI never thought I would present at this conference because it is so prestigious and competitive,\u201d Saturday said.<\/p>\n
Two dozen undergraduate students were selected to display their poster presentations, including the two University of La Verne teams.<\/p>\n
Saturday, Kuaana, and Bullock will present \u201cFostering Success: Addressing Factors of Intimidation for Inner-city Students,\u201d which explores issues such as socioeconomic background and self-doubt and how they affect learning. They surveyed 175 students taking a first-year writing course at the University of La Verne.<\/p>\n
Cruz and Osorio\u2019s project \u201cTeaching and Tutoring in Edited American English with Cultural (In)Sensitivity\u201d looks at the way college English is taught and whether students from diverse backgrounds are able to express their cultural identity in courses. They surveyed 250 students in first-year writing courses.<\/p>\n
The seeds of both projects were planted when the students took \u201cWriting Theory and Practice: Peer Tutoring in Writing,\u201d taught by Dr. Judy Holiday, assistant professor of writing.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very proud of these two groups of students,\u201d Holiday said.<\/p>\n
College of Arts and Sciences Dean Dr. Lawrence Potter and Dr. Kat Weaver, director of the Academic Success Center and the La Verne Experience, provided funding to support the students\u2019 trip to the conference. The department of modern languages also contributed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
