=====================

It would be a terrific help if you could forward this to folks who might

be interested, especially recent grads with comp/rhet backgrounds. I'd

also be happy to take email queries and questions about the program. The

EWP at Hopkins has been running since summer of 2000, the season of my

arrival. We've grown more than 100% in # of students reached, and it's an

exciting place to work, surrounded by brilliant undergrad and grad

students. The Dean's Office is behind the program, offering excellent

support.

It'd be a great place for someone looking for hands-on administration in a

relaxed and vibrant program. I hope to meet with candidates at MLA in

December, but we'll keep the search open until we find the right person.

Many thanks,

WT
