Invitation to SI 2016

There’s quiche in the fridge, French bread in the oven, and juice cups on the kitchen table being decorated by my daughters. David is making lists and moving everything into the Beard Building. We are almost ready to begin Summer Institute 2016 tomorrow. Exciting!

Tomorrow morning, David, Kevin Rutherford (SUNY Cortland), and I will welcome Tammy, Laurie, Ellen, and Jeanette to the Seven Valleys Writing Project and see how much writing they can do!

This year’s SI includes one face-to-face week in the Beard (first floor) and a week of work done remotely. We will be in the Beard 8:30-4:30 each day this week with lunch 12:00-12:45.

We would love to see any of you who can make the journey any day Tuesday through Friday. Come for as much time as you like. Bring your writing stuff.

We will post histories and a link to our daily agendas each day so you can join in from afar. Please do!

Also remember we will meet July 12 in the Beard from 10-12 with lunch and beverages afterward. We’ve heard from some of you that you’ll attend (if nothing better comes along!) and that’s great.

Cheers to all and to the 2016 Summer Institute!
