Andrew Taylor and Sarah Turkstra Win Rubric Award
On Friday, April 9, 2010, at the WMU Research Day celebration, the University Assessment Steering Committee announced the winner of a rubric competition that involved teams of master's degree students from across campus. For the last few months, student teams worked to develop a set of criteria that will be used to judge the new UASC Assessment Award, an honor designed to recognize the assessment related activites of WMU graduate students.The winning team was comprised of our own Andrew Taylor, a master's degree student specializing in literature, and Sarah Turkstra, a MBA student in the Haworth College of Business. In addition to the honor of having their rubric selected out of a large pool of entries, Andrew and Sarah will share a $1,000 prize.
Congratulations to Andrew and Sarah, as well as to all of the master's degree students who participated in the competition. As a reminder, graduate students across campus will be eligible to compete for the new assessment award beginning in the 2010-2011 academic year.

Greetings from the Festival of Faith and Writing
For the first time, the Festival is coming to downtown Grand Rapids! Starting Thursday, April 15th and continuing throughout the weekend, the Ladies Literary Club (61 Sheldon SE) in downtown Grand Rapids will be hosting a series of literary events open to the public.

Starting the first night, best-selling author and humorist Michael Perry (Population 485: Meet Your Neighbors One Siren at a Time, Truck: A Love Story) will be reading from his work, with a book signing afterwards. On Friday, poet and National Book Award finalist Kevin Young (For the Confederate Dead, Jelly Roll, The Art of Losing, Dear Darkness) will be reading from his work, and he will also be signing books. Finally, on Saturday, Laura Waters Hinson will screen her documentary on the Rwandan genocide, *As We Forgive*. There will be a discussion with Ms. Hinson following the film. All of these events will begin at 7:00 p.m.
