As a title for our on-line newsletter, English Department faculty members chose The English Web.  The name reflects our primary reason for publishing this newsletter: our desire for connection, for maintaining the sense of community that imbues our two Benedictine institutions and shapes the lives of women and men who study here.  Through The English Web, we hope to ensure strong ties with our majors and minors, past and present, who have been a part of our classes, our department, and our lives.  We think that a web, with its many-directioned linkages and ties, best images that desire.

Years ago, before our two departments became one, the English Department at the College of Saint Benedict published Writ, a print newsletter mailed to alumnae and to current students.   

But now as our graduates have access to the Internet and are scattered around the globe, a better medium for maintaining our community ties is the electronic web with its extraordinary capacity for reaching out in many directions both at home and abroad.

Since the English Department continues to build a list of graduates with e-mail capabilities, we invite those who would like to be part of this communication link to forward their e-mail addresses to bradaich@csbsju.edu. If your electronic address changes, please let us know.
