Patricia Linoz, Bachelor of Science undergraduate student in the College of Psychology, and NSU Writing & Communication Center (WCC) consultant, performed in Dance Works, at the Performance Theatre, Don Taft University Center, November 8-9, 2019.

This year, Dance Works featured members of the NSU Dance ensemble performing new original work by dance faculty and guest choreographers. This performance featured a diverse range of styles and showcased the incredible talent of the NSU Dance Ensemble.

“Dance Works was an amazing experience for me because I was not only able to improve my skills as a dancer, but I also met amazing people that I will stay in touch with for the rest of my life,” Linoz explains. She notes that she “worked with choreographers that impacted me greatly and was able to find a group of individuals that I identify with in a lot of aspects. It was also great that I was able to help some of them with their papers in the WCC and that I fellowed some of their comp classes as well!”

CAHSS Faculty Present at the 2019 Feminisms and Rhetorics Conference

Writing and Communication Center (WCC) Faculty Coordinators, Kelly Concannon (College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences Associate Professor of Writing) and Janine Morris (CAHSS Assistant Professor of Writing), presented at the 2019 Feminisms and Rhetorics conference at James Madison University, November 13-16, 2019. Their presentation, “Mindful Mentorship, Self-Care, & Fostering Graduate Student Well-Being in the Writing Center,” focuses on a month-long mindfulness project the two conducted in fall 2018 with CAHSS Composition, Rhetoric, and Digital Media Master’s student Nicole Chavannes and alumna Veronica Diaz (both WCC graduate assistant coordinators at the time).

Their presentation focused on the effects of a four-week project Concannon, Morris, Chavannes, and Diaz undertook to examine how performing self-care and mindfulness practices affected mentorship and leadership positions. The presentation concluded with acknowledging the benefits and challenges of practicing mindfulness and self-care as mentors and provided attendees with strategies to enact in their own writing centers.

Concannon stated, “The conference allowed us to share our experiences cultivating mindfulness in the writing and communication center and to create collaborations with faculty and students who were additionally invested in feminist practices.”

The mindfulness project is also the focus of a co-written article by Concannon, Morris Chavannes, and Diaz that will appear in a forthcoming issue of WLN: A Journal of Writing Center Scholarship.
