15th  Annual Faculty Book Reception
Monday, April 2, 2012

The Institute for Writing Studies and the University Libraries, in conjunction with the Office of the Provost and the Center for Teaching and Learning, are pleased to announce the 15th Annual University-Wide Reception honoring those faculty members who have published a book since March 2011.

The reception will be held on Monday, April 2, 2012 in the Institute for Writing Studies, St. Augustine Hall, Room 150, from 3:30 until 5:30 p.m.  This event will provide the University community, faculty, students, administrators, and staff, an occasion to become acquainted with the recent work of faculty colleagues.  Authors are expected to attend the reception. 
All books will be displayed at the reception and during the Research Month Grants Reception earlier in the day. 

All full-time faculty members are invited to participate.  If you wish to participate, please click the link * and complete the online Faculty Author Submission form.  Submissions may include single-author monographs, edited volumes, textbooks, and re-editions.  A version of the descriptions and comments and a snapshot of the bookcover will be printed in a booklet as a permanent record of the event.  To ensure that the booklet is ready for the reception, the deadline for submission is February 10, 2012.  If your book will be published in spring 2012, you must provide an image of the book cover by February 10th and a hard copy of the book by March 28th.  If you cannot meet these deadlines your book will be featured in the 2013 Faculty Book Reception.

Please forward a copy of your book to Ms. Dorothy Bukay in the Institute for Writing Studies by February 10, 2012.  You will receive an e-mail confirmation of receipt.  All books will be returned within two weeks of the event.

We will feature a panel of 5 book authors, one selected from each college, to speak for a few minutes about their work as writers and researchers.  This will allow for more informal time for all participants to talk with one another and guests about their work, as well as to browse the featured titles on display.

If you would like to be considered as a speaker for the panel, please send an email to Dorothy Bukay (bukayd@stjohns.edu) with a paragraph about what you’d like to share with your colleagues.  Please note “Reception speaker” in the subject line.  This is also due by February 10th.  These proposals will be reviewed by a committee after which five faculty members will be invited to present on April 2nd.

If you have any questions concerning participation or submission, please contact Anne Ellen Geller at gellera@stjohns.edu.
