Shulenburger, Budig join national panel
The College Board has named KU Executive Vice Chancellor
and Provost David E. Shulenburger to a new national advisory panel on
teaching and learning writing.
Shulenburger, pictured below, joins 15 leaders, including Pulitzer Prize-winn
ing
author Taylor Branch, on the Commission on Writing in America’s
Schools and Colleges. Former KU Chancellor Gene Budig also was named as
an ex-officio member.
The commission is charged with defining and reaffirming the essential
role of writing in education and making recommendations on how students,
their families, schools, colleges and universities can improve the quality
of writing in the United States. Commission members include leading college
and university presidents, chancellors and provosts and school superintendents
from across the nation. The commission will meet initially Sept. 30 in
Chicago. A report may be issued by April.
“A key component of success in virtually any career today is the
ability to write clearly and effectively,” said Shulenburger. “It
is vital that schools at all levels require students to express themselves
in an articulate manner.”
