After the retirement of Sonja Davis, SMETA is very excited to welcome its new University Liason Christine Warren. When asked about her new assignment with SMETA, Christine replied, " I am proud to be SMETA's new Southeast university liaison. I have said many times in the last few months that I know Sonja Davis has little feet, but she does leave some big shoes to fill. I hope to accomplish this in the next few years! I come to Southeast after teaching high school English at Jackson for 29 years. Deciding to retire from the public schools was difficult because I have been so content at JHS, but when the opportunity to teach future teachers came along at Southeast, I knew I could continue as the English teacher I am so proud to be. My new position at Southeast is proving a challenge, but it has also been humbling and exciting. I hope to work with my fellow professional English teachers throughout Southeast Missouri through SMETA. We may be a small group, but after attending a fall conference, we can all see that we are special teachers who care to keep learning and interacting with our colleagues. I am open to ideas and suggestions for keeping SMETA alive and well; drop me an e-mail and let me know how we can do that together, cwarren@semo.edu".
