Evelyn Posey

I am currently the Director of the UTEP online Technical and Professional Writing Certificate program, where I also I teach Grant Writing. My experience as the Principal Investigator of a 3.4 million National Science Foundation ADVANCE grant for the advancement of women in science and engineering helped me to learn the ins and outs of grant writing and management.

In addition to directing the certificate program, I have been active in the computers and writing community, writing articles and presenting papers on using technology in the composition classroom and serving on the CCCC Computer Committee. My colleague Kate Mangelsdorf and I have authored three first-year composition textbooks: Choices: A Basic Writing Guide with Readings, 5th ed. and Discoveries: A Step-by-Step Guide to Writing Paragraphs and Essays for Bedford/St. Martin’s and The World of Writing: A Guide for Pearson/Longman.

The strongest assets I bring to Rhetoric and Writing Studies are my love of teaching and research, broad experience in university administration, and my years of working with faculty development and information technology on campus. In addition to my work, I spend weekends in High Rolls, NM where my husband and I have a cabin.
