Harris, Muriel

With this issue of the Writing Lab Newsletter, we bring Volume 38 to a close and will spend time this summer thinking about moving WLN forward. We'll be looking at clarifying standards for submissions and for additional opportunities to interact on social media. If you have suggestions for any of this, send them on to me (harrism@ purdue.edu).

This issue starts with Danielle Cordaro's article about making session reports more productive. She outlines opportunities to engage multiple audiences so that the reports can draw in teachers, increase student involvement, and help guide tutorials. On a lighter note, Bonnie Devet focuses on the importance of humor in the writing center, describing how tension and burnout can be alleviated by asking tutors to come up with humorous captions for cartoons, much like the New Yorker magazine's weekly contests do.

And for those who have d/Deaf (this term is explained in the review) students attending tutorials, LeAnn Nash reviews Rebecca Babcock's book on working on language skills with these and other students. For tutors preparing their resumes for summer jobs and future employment, Lindsay Sabatino and Jessica Showalter offer a guide for quantifying and explicating the work tutors do so that employers will understand the complexity and extent of their tutorial work. And finally, for all of us, emphatic wishes for a leisurely summer, filled with good books to read and enough quiet time to do just that.
