Assistant Editor buffelina22@hotmail.com Debra Sims (née Schotten) I “met” Virginia Woolf in 1996, during a four-week British Literature seminar at Southern Connecticut State University, where I was completing my undergraduate work. My first reading was Jacob’s Room, and I was immediately captivated. Three years later, I embarked on a Master’s degree program with Woolf in mind. It seemed only fitting that I should further explore Jacob’s Room, and thus, with Dr. Vara Neverow’s and Dr. Edward Bishop’s assistance, I began in 2000 to compose a Master’s thesis in which I explore “The Hero’s Evolution in Virginia Woolf’s Jacob’s Room: Tracing Jacob Flanders through the Holograph Draft and the Published Novel.” After a year of extensive research and writing, I submitted my thesis mere weeks after presenting a portion of it at the 2001 International Virginia Woolf Conference in Wales. Well aware of my fondness for Woolf, Dr. Neverow proposed that I begin work on the Virginia Woolf Miscellany with her. In my role as Production Editor, I will oversee the physical publication of the newsletter and assist with copy-editing and design. I look forward to the experience, confident that under the new auspices of Southern Connecticut State University, the Miscellany will provide the same level of informative and entertaining articles that readers have come to expect. Production Editor simsdebra@yahoo.com Susan Wegener As a student with a minor in Women’s Studies and a major British literature, I combined my interests in Virginia Woolf, and by the end of four years at Southern Connecticut State Univeristy I had grown to appreciate Woolf’s life and works enough to write my honors thesis on Orlando. Research introduced me to the International Virginia Woolf Society, and I submitted the proposal that brought me an enriching experience at the eleventh annual Virginia Woolf conference and an unbelievable trip to Wales. To meet the scholars whose books I had read and articles I had quoted was an undergraduate’s thrill, and I knew then that I forever wanted to be part of this group who understands Woolf’s importance to me because she too means so much to them. In February, with much excitement and a little trepidation, I took on the tasks and privilege of working on this issue of the Miscellany. A formidable legacy, the VWM proved to exist on its own and require only subtle shaping by those who preside over it with the best of their skills. I worked hard to meet the impressive standards set by Sonoma State, and I will continue to perform my duties with diligence and enthusiasm. Design Editor sweg@earthlink.net
