As we all know, a lot of events go on in the English department, and a lot of our community members are accomplishing big things. In the past, we\u2019ve had a few outlets\u2014like <\/span>The Words<\/span><\/i> and our department social media\u2014for sharing these things, but there was no centralized line of communication, and news sharing could get a smidge inconsistent. This was something we wanted to address this year so that nothing slipped through the cracks, and thus, the Communications Liaison position was born.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n In this position, I will be managing department communications so that all the news that\u2019s fit to share gets shared. By working <\/span>closely with our stellar social media team, submitting announcements to the <\/span>Mac Daily<\/span><\/i>, and looping Communications and Marketing staff in on our department members\u2019 most exciting achievements and accolades, my job is to keep everybody well-informed. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n To that end, I encourage you to update me on all the cool department-related things going on! You scored a high-profile internship? Let me know! Your English class went on a little field trip? Tell me all about it! Your book just won a prestigious award? (We\u2019re looking at you, Professor Prior!) Then by all means, get in touch with me! You can email me at <\/span>dgreene@macalester.edu<\/span> with any and all information that you think is relevant to the larger department community, and I\u2019d be happy to liaise on the communication. <\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by Dalton Greene \u201822 In last month\u2019s inaugural edition of The Words for the 2021-2022 academic year, we introduced the English department student workers and announced that I, Dalton Greene, will be serving as the department\u2019s first-ever Communications Liaison.
