About the English Department Website
Our latest web design follows the IUP campus standards. Additional enhancements, layout improvements, and other features were also developed by our current website team. It is our goal to make this site as user friendly and accurate as possible. If you would like to send any comments or questions that you have please send an email to someone from the Current Website Team.
Current Website Director
The current website director has been working on this site since it was first launched in 1996. He oversees the site's development as a whole, approves text and data for uploading to the site, and works to ensure that new website managers do their job correctly and in a way that allows future managers to easily take over manager requirements.
Gian's interest in technology developed during the five years he worked as a professional technical writer. Gian has published
a number of articles about using computers to teach composition. He also
has two books forthcoming from Hampton Press on technology: Re-mapping Narrative: Technology's Impact on the Way We Write and TechCulture, Literacy, and the Academy. Gian also uses technology
regular when teaching his English courses, especially English 322: Technical Writing.
Gian's favorite thing to do when he's not teaching is to play with his
two sons, Cormac and Loughlin. He also likes to give presentations on integrating writing and mathematics with his beautiful wife, Edel Reilly, who is a middle school mathematics teacher at Westmont Hilltop Middle School in Johnstown, PA.

Current Webmaster
Glen A Plumley is an undergraduate pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. Mr. Plumley had intended to enroll as a computer science major in the spring of 2007, when a chance meeting with an alien observer from Saturn's largest moon - Titan, convinced him that he was destined to craft the next great American owner's manual. After convincing his wife that his life's mission was now clear (and that he would get a job on campus as soon as was humanly possible) he enrolled as a 47 year-old sophomore transfer student at IUP.
Mr. Plumley is a past Sales Engineer for Maxtech Microwave Electronics, now a division of General Dynamics C4 Satellite Systems, and has traveled extensively in Asia.
In his spare time, Mr. Plumley enjoys digital photography, gathering edible wild mushroom, and keeping an on-going correspondence with the fictional character Kilgore Trout.
Mr. Plumley is also the webmaster for the colleges radio station; WIUP.
