By proposing or creating content, participating in peer reviews of new content, suggesting edits, making revisions, offering suggestions and feedback, and more, dozens of full-time faculty members, part-time faculty members, and graduate assistants have contributed to this work.

We would like to acknowledge and thank the following contributors and thank them for their time and their ideas:

• John Brentar

Additionally, we thank Dr. William Breeze, Director of First-Year Writing at CSU, for his support of this project from the very beginning. The First-Year Writing program is a leader in OER at CSU and Dr. Breeze’s emphatic “green light” made this an easy journey.

The initial work done to develop this book was graciously supported by the CSU Provost’s Office and the Michael Schwartz Library. Without their advocacy and support, we would not be as far along our OER journey as we are.
