Dear ESL Discipline Council Members and Colleagues:

Just a reminder that our upcoming meeting is Friday, December 9th from 12:30 to 2:30. As usual, we will gather at 25 West 43rd Street in the 19th Floor conference room.

Friday’s meeting will be a “working meeting.” Our first goal is to (begin) to design an electronic survey to collect information about CUNY’s ESL/EAP, First-year composition (FYC), and CLIP programs so that we can become better informed regarding our collective practices. Our second goal is to prioritize and organize around our brainstormed list of ESL DC year-long/multi-year objectives (see attached).

We have purposely left emails visible. If you do not see a colleague on the mailing list, please forward this email. For future correspondences, we hope to move to a CUNY Commons listserv. If you have not already done so, please join our CUNY Commons’ group: https://commons.gc.cuny.edu/groups/cuny-esl-discipline-council/
