What Editors Do at SFU Downtown and SFU Surrey, Feb 22, Mar 2, and May 11

Permalinks to this entry: individual page or in monthly context. For more material from my journal, visit my home page or the archive.

As I seem to do every semester, I'll be speaking to a class of students in Simon Fraser University's "What Editors Do" class tomorrow night, February 22, at the downtown Harbour Centre campus. Very shortly after that, on March 2, I'll do the same thing to a different class at SFU's new Surrey, B.C. campus, and again May 11 downtown. I enjoy these sessions a lot, so if you're in one of those classes, I look forward to seeing you there.
