Supporting faculty across campus to make writing a significant part of an undergraduate students' education.
Writing is integral to learning. In every major, courses build on first-year composition to provide specialized training, introduce students to discipline-specific ways of thinking, writing, and researching, and connect students to professional expectations.
Workshops & Events
WID provides professional development opportunities for faculty and teaching assistants interested in thinking about the ways writing works in their classrooms. Programming includes workshops, book groups, and working groups (mini institutes) that explore teaching, learning, and assessment as well as an annual, 4-day institute for revising a course/syllabus.
Individual Consultations
WID provides consultations for faculty to explore how writing works in their courses and assignments.
Departmental Partnering
WID partners with schools and departments to identify how writing is central to achieving learning outcomes for their majors.
Course Mentors
In collaboration with the Undergradate Writing Center, WID matches student writing mentors with faculty and their writing intensive course.
Faculty Writing
WID offers opportunities to focus on personal writing projects during weekly writing retreats and writing groups.
