Re: Informal Gathering to Welcome Recipients of SYS Mentoring Program at Literacy Research Association Conference on December 5, 2013.
Please join us at LRA on Thursday, December 5, 2013, at 7:30 am in Trinity 1, Omni Hotel, to welcome the recipients of the Supporting Young Scholars Mentoring Program established by the Reading Hall of Fame. Initial funding for this program comes from sales of the book, Changing Literacies for Changing Times (Routledge, 2009), co-edited by James Hoffman and Yetta Goodman. You will have an opportunity to talk with recipients, their RHOF mentors, and your Reading Hall of Fame colleagues. Coffee and breakfast tacos will be provided. We look forward to seeing you there. Please RSVP to Jim Hoffman ( jhoffman at austin.utexas.edu<mailto:jhoffman at austin.utexas.edu>) by November 30, 2013—will give us an estimate of number planning to attend. We look forward to seeing you at LRA!
