On March 1st, the CLL doctoral students have been invited to have a pizza party with the English PhD students in honor of the Spring 2010 Brackenridge Distinguished Scholar Dr. Elaine Richardson. The English department will be providing pizza and we will be providing desserts. The lunch will run from 1-3, however it is not mandatory that you stay the entire time. The lunch will take place in the grants room. You must RSVP to shereen.bhalla@utsa.edu ASAP as the English department needs a head-count for pizza. This is an exciting opportunity and I hope you can attend. Below is further information about Dr. Richardson's work.
