Each year, the Department of English and the Writing Program offer a Fall orientation event, where new and returning graduate students and instructors are introduced to the department, its resources and programs, and (most importantly) to one another. This orientation and other related events will take place on the following key dates:
Monday, August 11th
Graduate Student/Writing Program Orientation Day 1 (Adorjan 142 | Des Peres 208)
Tuesday, August 12th
Writing Program Orientation Day 2 (Des Peres 208)
To Prepare for the Department of English Orientation (August 11th and 12th)
We have a number of important resources (documents and videos) for incoming and returning graduate students and graduate/adjunct instructors. To prepare for orientation, Maryse Jayasuriya (Director of Graduate Studies) and Nathaniel Rivers (Associate Director of the Core, EP1, and Writing Program Coordinator) request that you review the following prior to the first day of orientation.
WP Instructors (and Future Instructors)
ENGL 1500 and 1900 are courses that both shape and reflect how Saint Louis University, the Department of English, and the Writing Program approach composition pedagogy. To get a better understanding of ENGL 1900 (which affects and connects with ENGL 1500) and orientation, we will provide some materials for you to read ahead of time. Here they are:
Student and Pedagogical Services and Resources
In addition to the materials above, please also review our videos and other resources on Jesuit & Ignatian pedagogy, information about the Dean of Students Office, the library, and many more services available to you and your students! These resources contain must-know information for both graduate students as students and for instructors referring their students.
