Registration open for summer session of Writing Across the Curriculum Academy

The Writing Across the Curriculum, or WAC, program offered by University Writing empowers instructors of all ranks to teach high-impact, discipline-specific, writing-enriched courses and curricula.

In this WAC Academy, teams of faculty, staff and administrative professionals will work through a collaborative process of learning, reflection, planning, creation and assessment of writing with the goal of deepening students’ learning of disciplinary content. Participants will learn how to use writing to teach significant disciplinary concepts, clarify disciplinary expectations for student writing, design and scaffold meaningful assignments and integrate peer and instructor feedback. Teams from multiple departments will have the opportunity to share ideas and receive feedback in an interdisciplinary space.

University Writing defines writing broadly to include assignments such as research papers, lab reports, case studies, reflective writing and ePortfolios. Read the full call for participants for more information on time commitment, compensation and registration.
