Citizenship Symposium

Several student posts about the Keene State College Citizenship Symposium were mentioned on the Citizenship Symposium Weblog. Yay, Brendon, Rachel, Alicia, Kerri, Kate, Corinne, and Renee!

Members of Tracy Mendham’s ITW 101 class, a writing class examining issues of gender in new media, attended many of the lectures during the symposium and commented on them in their own blogs. You can read their responses here on Tracy’s Google reader feed. I’ve also pulled out a couple entries below. Note: The responses are meant to be journal entries, not polished pieces, and the writing is very informal:
