Three BIG THINGS!

I've only talked about this with a few of you really, but three big important things that have solidified over the past couple of weeks.

First of all, I was accepted into N.K.U.'s Masters of English / Professional Writing program. That'll be starting up in the Fall. For details, go here. I'm actually enrolled in both the Professional Writing certificate program and the Master of English program.

Second, I was accepted into the Congressional Leadership Program for the Northern Kentucky area. This is, apparently, something of a big deal. It consists of 8 classes between 6/28/08 and 8/11/08 that deals explicitly with Northern Kentucky / Cincinnati issues and is intended to immerse enrollees in the specific unique challenges of the Greater Cincinnati area.

And finally, third, I am now definitely going to THE NINES conference at Miami University at the end of July. You can read more about it here, but essentially THE NINES is a digital humanities conference funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities on the uses of computing technology in the humanities fields. I was invited because of my work during Spring and Summer '07 digitizing a collection o15th C. women's poetry.
