OPENINGS FOR WILDERNESS LITERATURE FIELD INSTITUTE THIS SUMMER! (no tuition
charged for students enrolled full time Spring 2008)
There are still several openings in the Wilderness Literature Field
Institute for this summer; this is a great opportunity to earn credits
without paying additional tuition. The program combines 3 credits of ENGL
297 (for English majors this could be a 496) with 1.5 credits of KINES
001, and you get those credits backpacking, rock climbing, canoeing, and
white water rafting between May 30 and June 19! Students who sign up will
be registered during spring semester for these courses, so for full-time
students the only charge is the $395 course fee. There is some work the
student needs to complete, though, before the class meets on June 30, so
interested students should contact Dr. Robert Burkholder about registration
and assignments. His email is <reb5@psu.edu>. The course Web site is
ENGL 202H FOR FALL 2008 (Writing in the Humanities: Adult Literacy)
There are still some openings in ENGL 202H for Fall Semester 2008. This
course is not limited to Honors students; it provides students enrolled in
any college or major an opportunity to examine adult literacy in depth and,
at the same time, engage in a much-needed community service activity
through work with adult learners, assisting them as they strive to improve
their own literacy skills. Students enrolled in the course may also enroll
in three credits of ENGL 495 (internship) to receive credit for the time
spent engaged in training and tutoring while enrolled in ENGL 202H.
More information about the course and registration process is available at
