Hi, all--
Ismet Prcic is interested in coming this fall, and we're looking at dates mid- to late October, specifically October 18-19. Is anyone else scheduling around that time?
I'm attaching a story of Prcic's, originally published in McSweeney's in 2006, I think. it's actually an excerpt from his novel, Shards. This issue came in two little books, modeled after the way books were printed during WWII, to minimize the use of paper. One volume was labeled "New Stories from Overseas" and the other "New Stories from Our Shores." Prcic's story was split in half between the two.

Subject: Re: meeting with seniors/exit interviews
HI Margaret,
it's a great idea to begin to conduct at least informal exit surveys.
Maybe ask them what they intend to try to do next? Do they want to go on to achieve further qualifications? Are they concerned about debt? In what ways do they consider that having a CW addition to the English BA give them an advantage when looking for employment?
my two cents worth,
cris

Is there anything specific you'd like me to bring up? I was thinking I'd frame it very generally--that we're thinking about making changes to the program and the major, and that we'd like their input: what's been helpful, unhelpful, what they'd like more of less of, etc.
