    Joseph Hill University of California Davis From Praxis: "Being a philosophy minor and English major, I constantly look at interactions that take place between the different disciplines and ways in which life can be approached from a philosophical standpoint. Existentialism is a philosophy that piqued my interest with its reliance on the precedence of the individual and the consequentiality of man's choices."

    Jessica MurrayFlorida Atlantic University From Praxis: "When ESL writers write, they are attempting to be heard in an academic community. One of the academy's shortcomings is its disinclination to hear from writers who struggle with academic discourse. In a contact zone, such as a university that includes accomplished and novice academics, communication becomes a casualty (particularly with novices whose first language is not English)."

    "I was finishing up a paper on Athanasius Kircher for my history of science class when I decided to run it by two of my housemates. When one of them read it, she flagged the following sentence. Kircher went on to publish over thirty works on subjects ranging from hieroglyphics to magnetism."

    Jay D Sloan - Kent State University - From Praxis: "Consultants in the Kent State University Stark Campus Writing Center enter the "contact zone" in order to help each other and the writers they work with wrestle with diversity. Like many universities, Kent State University's Stark campus has taken "embracing diversity" as one of its primary initiatives."

    Chris LeCluyse - University of Texas at Austin "How can we balance training in writing center theory and practice without leaving our values at the door? Empowerment. Collaboration. Equality. More than many academic departments and services, writing centers are driven by their values. As writing center practitioners, we judge ourselves according to how we apply those values in working with writers."

    From Praxis: "Susan Mueller - A corporate assessment model offers a fresh approach to evaluating consultant training programs and consultations themselves. How many times have you watched struggling students leave your writing center and wondered how much they got out of the conference you just had with them? It is hard to know."

    From Praxis: "Consultant trainers are also finding that they don't always have to look off campus to shake up their training practices. Conventional boundaries for who receives training and who offers it are also expanding. A tenet of writing center practice is that it makes consultants better teachers and better writers."

    From Praxis: "The warm glow of a computer screen can never replace face-to-face training courses, workshops, or advice from colleagues. But electronic training resources can be engaging supplements; they give us perspectives from outside the walls of our own centers, and they let us move at our own pace through training activities."

    From Praxis: "The notion that writing is a constantly negotiated activity with no clear-cut right or wrong answers may be a cliché among writing center professionals, but among undergraduate tutors, especially newly hired ones, it can be an earthshaking realization."
