WRITING PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION Series Editors: Susan H. McLeod and
Margot Soven WRITING PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION AND THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE offers a comprehensive study of the administration of
writing programs at public, two-year institutions. Author Heather
Ostman describes the community college's diverse students, who
shape its mission with their changing needs and demographics. A
history of the community college places the institution within the
broader context of American higher education and is followed by
practical information about the day-to-day work of the WPA at the
two-year college. WRITING PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION AND THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE also addresses current issues and concerns faced by WPAs
and writing instructors, including the politics of and future for
composition at community colleges. Writing Program Administration
and the Community College will deepen the understanding of
composition and WPA work at this institution for all WPAs-at
community colleges and four-year institutions, composition
instructors, college administrators, and graduate students pursuing
careers in the field. HEATHER OSTMAN is an assistant professor and
the assistant chair of the SUNY Westchester Community College
English Department, where she teaches courses in writing and
literature. Before joining Westchester, she served as the writing
program coordinator at the Metropolitan Manhattan campus of the
State University of New York's Empire State College. Her work has
appeared in essay collections and in journals such as College
Composition and Communication, Women's Studies, Prose Studies,
Philological Quarterly, and New Writing. She is the editor of Kate
Chopin in the Twenty-First Century: New Critical Essays (2008) and
serves as the President of the Kate Chopin International Society.
She is also the recipient of the SUNY Chancellor's Award for
Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities and the
Westchester Community College Foundation Faculty Excellence Award
in Scholarship. In 2012, she and her colleague Frank Madden were
awarded a National Endowment for the Humanities Challenge Grant for
Two-Year Colleges to establish and co-direct the SUNY Westchester
Community College Humanities Institute, which provides curricula,
events, and pedagogical training in the humanities with an emphasis
on the immigrant experience in the United States.
