Faculty Book Reception

The 2013 Faculty Book Reception is closed to new submissions.

 

The Institute for Writing Studies and the University Libraries, in conjunction with the Office of the Provost and the Center for Teaching and Learning, are pleased to announce the 16th Annual Reception honoring those faculty members who have published a book since March 2012.

The reception will be held on Monday, April 8, 2013 in the Institute for Writing Studies, St. Augustine Hall, Room 150, from 3:30 until 5:30 p.m. This event will provide the University community, faculty, students, administrators, and staff, an occasion to become acquainted with the recent work of faculty colleagues. All books will be displayed at the reception and during the Research Month Grants Reception earlier in the day. Authors are encouraged to attend the reception.  

All full-time and part-time faculty members are invited to participate. If you wish to participate, please click the link and complete the online Faculty Author Submission form. Submissions may include single-author monographs, edited volumes, textbooks, and re-editions. If you have submitted your work to the Office of the Provost since March 2012 you need not re-submit. However, please email Dorothy Bukay (bukayd@stjohns.edu) if you want to be included in the 2013 book reception.  

A version of the descriptions and comments and a snapshot of the book cover will be printed in a booklet as a permanent record of the event. To ensure that the booklet is ready for the reception, all submissions must be received by February 4, 2013. If your book will be published in spring 2013 in time to be displayed at the reception please provide an image of the book cover by February 4th. If you cannot meet this deadline your book will be featured in the 2014 Faculty Book Reception. 

Please forward a copy of your book to Dorothy Bukay in the Institute for Writing Studies no later than February 4th. You will receive an e-mail confirmation of receipt. All books will be returned within two weeks of the event. Or, please consider donating your book to the University Library faculty collection. 

We will feature a panel of 5 authors to speak for a few minutes about their work as writers and researchers. This will allow for informal time for all participants to talk with one another and guests about their work, as well as to browse the featured titles on display. 

If you would like to be considered as a speaker for the panel, please send an email to Dorothy Bukay (bukayd@stjohns.edu) with a paragraph about what you’d like to share with your colleagues. Please note “Reception speaker” in the subject line. This is also due by February 4th These proposals will be reviewed by a committee after which five faculty members will be invited to present on April 8th
