UT's major in rhetoric and writing; internships

[Marian Blake]

Hi Clay!
I definitely remember you & have you on my "backup
speaker list" - if I get in a jam :) 
I think having you spend a couple of minutes telling
us about the internship at next week's meeting
(Tuesday April 25) would be Great!  Or if that is too
short of notice, Next Month's meeting is on Tuesday,
May 23rd - maybe we could give you a little more time
that day.  I also think posting the Internship to the
Listserve would be excellent.  
Are you currently an STC member?  
We are actively looking for Volunteers to fill next
year's Leadership positions - if you know of anyone
who might be interested - Please let us know!  
Thank you,
Marian
