SHELDON B. WRICE P.O. Box 13603 Fairlawn, Ohio 44334 e-mail: [email protected] 330-972-6023 (Office) 330-836-6593 (Home) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY My academic accomplishments are in the fields of composition and technical writing, library science research, multi-cultural education, and the disciplines of English language. Over the past twenty years, I have carved a niche as a dedicated tested teacher whose contributions have enhanced teaching of subjects that are basically rooted in the English language curriculum particularly, technical writing/composition and library research. The manifestation of my academic accomplishments, professional proficiency and dedication is the recognition and award given to me on three occasions as an outstanding teacher by The University of Akron. My contributions to the growth of English language are not limited to teaching only but rendering of valuable leadership services. I have served as President of the Two-Year College AssociationMidwest (two terms). At present, I serve as the Interim Chair of the Department of English.
