You’ll be submitting your Local Media Field Guide proposals to Shannon, via Google Docs (please make sure to make me an “editor!”), by 5pm on Friday, April 5. You’ll find directions on the “Requirements + Assignments” page. To help you prepare for this submission, you’ll be meeting individually with Shannon. In lieu of our regular Tuesday afternoon gathering, you’re welcome to choose a single half-hour session on either Monday or Wednesday (because Shannon has all-day search committee meetings on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday 😬). Please sign up for an appointment here
