Greetings all. I hope you are enjoying a safe and healthy and summer.
The impending topic announcement (the deadline for voting is almost here) reminds us all that the new season is almost upon us. In order to make the transition to a new year easier, CEDA has decided to produce a beginning of the year e-newsletter that will contain news, job announcements, updates on CEDA rules and policies and a comprehensive (and regionally organized) tournament calendar. To make this newsletter work we need your contributions. Please email me if you have any items that you would like included, such as: - Announcements about new faculty or staff for the 08-09 season - Upcoming job announcements - Call for papers - Graduate school information for 09-10 - Other matters of professional interest to our community And don't forget to check Dave Steinberg's incredibly helpful tournament calendar at If your tournament isn't listed there, but you still intend to host and earn CEDA points you should let us know ASAP. Even if a tournament is tentatively planned, we still want to list it so folks can consider their plans. We will make specific notations for any tournament that isn't 100% finalized (i.e., hotel contract not signed, date could move, etc.), but we still want to have all options listed. In our current economic climate and with skyrocketing travel costs we all need to do what we can to streamline our travel planning. Dave has done a tremendous volunteer service with this calendar and now we all need to work together to make our organizational calendar as comprehensive as possible. Thanks. Let me know if you have any questions. The e-newsletter will be produced in a few weeks and will be linked with content on the new CEDA site http://www.cedadebate.org/ Gordon CEDA 1st VP Gordon Stables, Ph.D. Director of Debate and Forensics Annenberg School for Communication University of Southern California Office: 213 740 2759 Fax: 213 740 3913 <http://usctrojandebate.com/> http://usctrojandebate.com
