For The Humanities Collaborative at EPCC-UTEP, each new year starts with a gathering of new Faculty and Student Fellows in June. From June 6-7, 2022, I attended The Collaborative's orientation in The University of Texas at El Paso Library's Blumberg Auditorium—the first orientation I attended since joining the Collaborative in September 2021—and I looked forward to this event because I was excited to meet my new Faculty Fellow and to learn more about the project I would work on this for this upcoming academic year.

This year will mark my third working with the Humanities Collaborative at EPCC-UTEP. So far it has provided me the opportunity to be a part of a diverse variety of projects from teaching fifth graders how to explore poetry through the works of William Wordsworth to lending a hand in the development of a database that will aid those researching paratextual verse from English texts published before 1700.
