Welcome back Rhet/Comp-ers. I’ve been collecting a series of announcements that I thought I’d send out all at once. There are lots of exciting opportunities on the horizon.
First, congratulations to Dr. Harker! His book The Lure of Literacy: A Critical Reception of the Compulsory Composition Debate is hot off the SUNY presses: http://www.sunypress.edu/p-5989-the-lure-of-literacy.aspx.

- Playtest Gaming Discussion @ GSU: The Creative Media Industries Institute and New and Emerging Media Initiative at Georgia State University are proud to announce that we will be starting a weekly game discussion session entitled “Playtest.” Playtest is an hour-long meet-up for gathering and exploring the small parts of things we love about games and also giving people the ability to experience them by playing the games in a comfortable and critical setting. Starting Friday, January 23, 2015, we will hold weekly meetings from 2:30 to 3:30 PM on the 9th floor of 25 Park Place. We invite all students, staff, faculty, game developers, and game critics to join us for these sessions. For more information: http://playtest.gsu.edu/.
