Mr. Thomas Malchodi
I have been assisting college-level students with their writing since 1995. That year, I began working in the Campus Writing Center at Southern Connecticut State University, where at the time I was an undergraduate. A few years later, I began working as a writing tutor in the CLR here at UNH; I am still tutoring at both universities. I have also gone on to become a composition instructor, and I now teach at Southern and at Quinnipiac. However, my preferred form of interaction with students remains the one-on-one tutoring session. Nothing gives me more pleasure than when a student stops by the CLR to inform me that a writing project I have worked on with that student has gone well thanks to our collaborative effort. I like to think that I give students a place to which to turn when they are frustrated or overwhelmed by the expectations of college writing.

Dr. Meg Savilonis
Dr. Meg Savilonis holds a PhD in Theatre History from the University of Texas at Austin. She has taught Theatre and English courses at several universities and high school courses in American, British, and World Literature. She has been teaching in the English Department at UNH since Fall 2006. Her publications include book reviews in Theatre Journal, Theatre Survey, and Atlantis: A Women’s Studies Journal, and an entry in The Oxford Encyclopedia of Women in World History (2008). Her essay “Value, Voice, and Identity in Three Birds Alighting on a Field†is part of the forthcoming anthology International Dramaturgy: Translation and Transformation in the Theatre of Timberlake Wertenbaker. Her current research includes an investigation of dance in the U.S. in the 1930s, focused particularly on the ways in which artists such as Ruth Page, Helen Tamiris, and Myra Kinch explore constructions of national identity in works choreographed for the Federal Theatre Project from 1937-1939. Dr. Savilonis is committed to helping students engage in the learning process and hopes that they can develop personal strategies that allow them to recognize the value of writing as a way to make thought development an active, physical process, and enable them to develop the skills and the confidence to actively, publicly articulate their points of view.

The next semester she added Writing Lab tutor to her c.v. and a few years later began counseling students for the Office of Academic Services. She still tutors for the CLR and counsels for OAS. Alice derives the greatest satisfaction when students discover better solutions than she does, proof that they're fully invested in the process of learning. Most enlightening experience at UNH: teaching Raymond Carver's "Cathedral" to a class that contained a sight-impaired student. Bachelor's in English comp; master's in film study.

Bill Bailey
I received my BA (cum laude) in 1951 from Clark University in
Worcester, MA, having majored in mathematics. I attained my FSA (Fellowship in the Society of Actuaries) in 1962. From Southern Connecticut State University I obtained a certificate to teach mathematics at the secondary level. I worked at the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company from 1952 to 1969, Banker Life and Casualty Insurance Compnay from 1970 to 1971, Milliman & Robertson, Inc. (an actuarial consulting firm) from 1971 to 1976, PolySystems, Inc. (a computer time-sharing firm) from 1977 to 1980, Kemper Group (a property/casualty insurance company) from 1980 to my formal retirement in 1995. In 1969 I invented an algorithm to do numerical convolutions, which routinizes the calculation of simple to very complicated probability problems. A computer program named Coconut, embodying that algorithm, is especially useful in so-called "ruin" problems, actuarial problems, and statistical problems including the generation of many of the tables used in college statistics textbooks. I wrote innumerable papers published in the Transactions of the Society of Actuaries, the Scandinavian Actuarial Journal, and ARCH (an informal Actuarial Research Journal). My wife Alfreda and I moved from Chicago to Salem, CT in 1995, into the house she had grown up in. I have 5 children (a 6th child died at age 23 that same year), 9 grandchildren, and countless great grandchildren. I have worked continuously from 1997 as a professional math/statistics tutor at 2 community colleges (Gateway in North Haven and Tunxis in Farmington) and recently also at UNH (University of New Haven) in West Haven. A friend and I are now immortal, having made a pact last summer: he agreed to not die before I do, and I agreed not to die before he does.
