CW2001 Program - Computers and Writing

conference. James Inman and Krista Homicz organized the Technology
Product Design Competition. Pat Nolan and Walt Turner brought us
“Web Around the World.” Cynthia Selfe, Joe Essid, Mike Keller, Erin
Smith, and Sharon Cogdill organized “C&W Goes to the Movies.”
We have two new awards this year, by ACE and Bedford/St.Martin’s/
Kairos/LORE. Thanks go to all those who helped with awards. And Ray
Rodrigues volunteered to coordinate a session for those new to or
seeking academic positions. Additional thanks go to Dene Grigar and to
Hugh Burns for coordinating the Town Halls. Thanks also go to the
CW Online committee—Bradley Dilger, Tari Fanderclai, James Inman,
Cindy Wambeam, Greg Siering, and John Walter—for a provocative
companion to the onsite conference. Greg Siering served well as
the liaison between the online and onsite conference committees.
And there are even more people, publishers, and companies listed
at www.bsu.edu/cw2001/support.htm, such as; McGraw-Hill,
Ontario Corporation, Allyn Bacon Longman, Hampton Press,
Bedford/St. Martin’s, Paradoxa, Kairos, Computers and Composition,
ACE, academic.writing, NCTE, and W.W. Norton.
Finally, but certainly not least, I am deeply indebted to the terrific
CW2001 Committee whose work and dedication has made this conference
possible. Rich Rice, my Co-Chair and most visible of all of us, has
spent well more than his assistantship hours designing and maintaining
the CW2001 Web site, handling most of the huge volume of email, and
maintaining a constant vision of the conference while focusing on
what details need to be completed next. For their unflinching sense of
purpose, good humor, and hard work over well more than two years of
dreaming, planning, and setting details in place, I particularly thank my
colleagues Web Newbold and Carole Papper. Among other tasks, Web
handled proposal review and the program, and Carole worked with
sponsors and space assignments. Others who came on board after
our proposal was accepted brought new enthusiasm and talents to
our task: Kris Fleckenstein recruited our keynote speakers; Rai Peterson
arranged for CRUs; Tony Atkins organized shuttle service; Rita Barkey
handled housing and recording registrations; Tyra Pickering arranged
some events; Jenny Haley, Rita and Tyra handled meal arrangements,
numerous printing and editing tasks, and a myriad of small but other
important details. I am grateful to each of them, for this work and more.
