COCC Seeks Scholar-in-Residence Applicants



Call for Applications

Library Scholar in Residence Program 2008-2009


COCC seeks applications for the fourth year of the Library Scholar-in-Residence Program. The 2008-9 appointment will continue the focus on creative writing with a Writer in Residence. The appointment begins September 1 and offers the selected scholar a private office in the library, a computer and network use, and research access for up to one year. In return, the Scholar-in-Residence will build on the work and programs developed in the previous three years of the program. This includes continuing as MC of the popular Word Cafe featuring readings by student and community writers, organizing special literary events, visiting selected classes, and offering one-on-one assistance for emerging writers. The Scholar is encouraged to suggest other ideas to enhance the effectiveness of the program in endeavoring to encourage student and faculty writing and awareness of area writers.
