Faculty, staff, and administrators from across the eight campuses worked diligently, hosting authors in their classroom and engaging their students in not only writing but sharing their creative efforts with others. Special thanks to literature professor, Dr. Cheryl Clark, for her vision and design concept and to art director, Pasita Andino. Most of all, thanks to Prof. MaryJane Maxwell, lead contest coordinator who worked with eight campus coordinators, our webpage designers, etc. And thank you to Wendy Neil of the League for her guidance and support. Hosting this year’s contest has truly been an honor. As we come to the end of our experience as this year’s hosts, preparations are taking place begin the competition anew. Elaine M. Ludovici 4
6. The theme was conceptualized by Dr. Cheryl Clark, Professor of English at the Wolfson Campus of MDC and rendered artistically by Pasita Andino, Sr. Graphic Designer in the Marketing and Publications Department at Wolfson. The inspiration for the 2007-2008 Student Literary Competition came from a slab of black basalt inscribed in three ancient languages, currently residing in the British Museum. When Jean Francois Champollion decoded this most famous of literary artifacts – the Rosetta Stone – our ideas about language and writing changed forever. Truly an innovation in the making. Perhaps of all icons of ingenuity, writing is the greatest innovation brought to the human stage so far. A way to express ideas, challenge biases, archive the past, imagine the future. This is the true root, the groundswell of innovation 6
7. Situated in the diverse community of Miami-Dade County, and as the host of the 2007-2008 competition, Miami Dade College made it our charge to help inspire all students throughout the League institutions to celebrate language and creativity in writing, to relish the diversity of individual styles, and the glamour of cultural uniqueness. 7
8. The Poster Our student writers took the challenge – putting their words on paper– inscribing new iconic texts to communicate who we are, who we hope to become ...to purify the dialect of our tribe Strategy for Success: Official poster unveiling energized faculty 8

28. From: Ludovici, Elaine Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2007 12:12 PM To: Saumell, Linda; Tulikangas, Carol Cc: Jacobs, Jeanne F; Cortes, Gina Subject: Ana Castillo Visit - League for Innovation Dear Dr. Saumell and Dr. Tulikangas: Below is an email from MaryJane Maxwell to the Homestead and InterAmerican Campus Coordinators for the League for Innovation Student Literary Competition. I’ve added some background information for you to review. Much of it was sent to you earlier in the Fall Term, but I thought a refresher might help as we are finalizing plans with visiting authors in February. Our own campus experience has shown that marketing the contest and coordinating the author visits “takes a village.” MaryJane and I will provide you with as much support as we can. BACKGROUND While the League for Innovation Student Literary Competition contest has been an annual event for the past 20 years, it takes on a new face and a new shape each year. This year the contest takes on particular meaning, since it is MDC's once-in-20-years turn to host the entireInternational contest which encompasses 19 League Board member districts with 39 participating campuses/colleges in the U.S. and Canada! The host institution creates the theme and the energy. After the contest is over and final selections have been made, the host institution also publishes an anthology of winning works, an anthology that is certain to make us proud this year. On October 4th, the Wolfson and Hialeah Campuses kicked off the 2007-2008 League for Innovation Student Literary Competition by hosting a visit by on of the contest judges, poet Reginald Shepherd. During Miami Book Fair International, two other authors and judges, Alan Cheuse (essay judge), and Ana Castillo (fiction judge) visited the Kendall and North Campuses. CAMPUS COORDINATORS and CAMPUS SUPPORT As the contest moves along, and with the help of the campus contest coordinates, directors of student life, and students and faculty alike, we can look forward to MDC hosting a number of college-wide events to mark this notable year. In the words of Hialeah Campus President, Dr. Cindy Miles, “We hope this competition will inspire our students in Rosetta Stonetranslations of their lives and ideas into literary art and to celebrate their creative expressions.” The Campus Coordinators (Victor Calderin, Hialeah; Wendy Goodwin, Homestead; Emily Sendin, InterAmerican; Marta Magellan; Kendall; Preston Allen, North; and MaryJane Maxwell, Wolfson) are the true catalysts for this competition, but it will take all of us to etch in stone this memorable honor and experience as the host institution. I hope you will reach out to students, staff, and faculty since anyone on campus may inspire students with an interest in the literary arts or self-discovery to participate. On the attached link, you will find additional information which you may wish to share with others. (Click on the provided link and then on the poster. Be sure to view the video-taped interview with the first visiting judge, poet Reginald Shepherd. We video-taped two others; both should be posted soon.) http://www.mdc.edu/wolfson/academic/ArtsLetters/english/default.asp Elaine M.

29. Press Release Two Miami Dade College students were winners in the League for Innovation’s 2007-08 International Literary Competition. The annual competition brings together a varied group of gifted and creative writers from across the country and around the world. Four categories are open for submission: personal essays, fiction, poetry and one-act plays. Wolfson Campus’ Natalia Jimenez won first place for her poem titled “A Note for Mary” and CristianLarrocha’s one-act play titled, “Tomas, and the Death of His...” won a third place prize. Cristian is studying at InterAmerican Campus. “The winning pieces by MDC students – written here in our diverse community – are an inspiration to all students throughout the League. They celebrate language and creativity in writing, the diversity of individual styles and the glamour of cultural uniqueness,” said MaryJane Maxwell. Maxwell is a professor of English and communications at Wolfson Campus and for the third year, she served as the college-wide coordinator of the competition. Miami Dade College was also the host institution for this year’s contest and hand picked prominent authors to serve as judges. Reginald Shepherd – editor of The Iowa Anthology of New American Poetries and the author of five volumes of poetry – was selected to judge poetry submissions. Shepherd offered this advice to aspiring poets: “Read as much as you can to get a sense of what the possibilities are.” And Che’Rae Adams judged the one-act play submissions. Adams is the producing artistic director of the Los Angeles Writer’s Center and has been developing and directing new plays for almost two decades. “I look for truth and beauty in the script and the character. It needs to be a good story, it needs to move me,” she said. “It was an honor to host the event this year,” said Maxwell. “As host, the College had the opportunity to present readings, workshops and other literary events featuring the judges,” she said. “It made for a very exciting year.” The League is an international organization dedicated to catalyzing the community college movement. In their continuing efforts to make a positive difference for students and communities, the League leads a number of competitions with member colleges, corporate partners and other agencies. The Student Literary Competition is just one of many programs designed to generate interest in creative activities. 29
30. Student storytellers come in every stripe – each as affecting as the next. Take, for example, LuliSzeinbulm, who wrote the hauntingly beautiful “Black Ocean,” an essay about her brother’s disappearance on a beach in her native Argentina. Then, there is Christopher Cody, a writer for as long as he could remember. Cody’s work is full of wit – masterfully on display in his one-act play, “Satan and Death.” Szeinbulm and Cody are leagues apart when it comes to style, motivation and experience. But they have one thing in common: These MDC alumni were winners of the international student literary competition of the League for Innovation in the Community College. “Black Ocean” took top honors for non-fiction in 2005, and “Satan and Death” was the first-place one-act play last year. A third MDC student, Ivan Vargas, was an honorable mention last year for his short story, “A Long Night for Samuel.” They offer shining examples of what students can accomplish when they are given the opportunity and support. And their individual successes were perfect preludes to the current year, as MDC is home-base for the League for Innovation’s 2007-2008 competition. “So many students don’t enter literary contests because they believe such contests are for English majors only, or creative writers,” says Elaine Ludovici, collegewide coordinator of the league competition. “They don’t realize that their own use of the written word is meaningful and, as student winners have demonstrated, quite compelling, which is why all students should be encouraged to participate.” Ludovici, also the chair of the English and communications department at Wolfson Campus, said the competition is open to students of all majors. They compete in four categories: personal essay, one-act play, poetry, and the short story. Each participating college – there are 20 nationwide and in Canada – is allowed only one entry per category, so students must first compete locally before their works reach the international competition. If their works make it to the finals, they are judged by published authors of each genre. The judges are Reginald Shephard (poetry), Alan Cheuse (essays), Che’Rae Adams (one-act play) and Ana Castillo (fiction). In their call for submission, College organizers found inspiration in the famed Rosetta Stone, a slab of black basalt, dating back from 196 B.C., which held the key to ancient Egyptian language. Citing T.S. Eliot, who evoked French Symbolist StéphaneMallarmé, English professor Cheryl Clark notes: “Although not all literary output can be ‘carved in stone,’ we all need reminding that ‘for us, there is only the trying. The rest is not our business.’ “We hope all of our student writers … will take the challenge – their words on paper and on the screen – inscribing new iconic texts to communicate who we are, who we hope to become...to purify the dialect of our tribe,” Clark adds. – Gariot P.
