Mary Lynch Kennedy, English, and Hadley M. Smith, Ithaca College, have published an expanded fourth edition of Reading and Writing in the Academic Community, Prentice Hall, 2010. The book is a comprehensive rhetoric covering critical reading and the major genres of academic writing that students encounter as undergraduates. Also, Kennedy was invited to give a two-hour workshop, "Exploring Memories in Writing," at the 59th Annual Conference of the New York State English Council held Oct. 22 in Albany N.Y. Kennedy and Ross Borden, English, gave a presentation Sept. 16 on Marjane Satrapi's graphic memoir, Persepolis, to the Ladies Literary Club of Cortland. This year the Literary Club is celebrating its 130th anniversary.
