As a faculty member in the Department of SLS, and as the Chair since January of this year, I’m interested in corresponding with individuals who are thinking of entering our BA in SLS, our MA in SLS, and our PhD in SLS degree programs. Please feel free to drop me a line (email: <crookes@hawaii.edu>). I was a student myself in our MA program (ok, many years ago!) so I still have a sense of what it means to be considering entering a program, with the major disruption in one’s life and the excitement of considerable personal and professional growth associated with it!
