Wendy, I was the English Language Specialist when Michael began the
Effective Writing Programme in August 1996. We took over from the
Writing Lab in the English Department, but I don't know exactly how long
that had been going. My guess is 8-10 yeaers. Roger Graves will
probably have better access to that information now than I do as he is
currently the Writing Programme Director at Western. Theresa.
