Held in Howe Library, May 18 & 20

In this interactive institute, we’ll reflect on your teaching priorities (particularly those connected to writing and information literacy), outline meaningful assignments that support those priorities, and discuss how to incorporate conversations about AI with our students. We hope you’ll also leave feeling refreshed and inspired, with important work completed. While working on a WIL1 or WIL2 course isn't required for Institute participation, we will pay special attention to the Catamount Core and will have activities that support those developing general education courses. 

The institute will meet in-person on Monday and Wednesday; on Tuesday individuals can make one-on-one consultation appointments and use the time for independent work. Coffee, tea, and lunch will be provided on Monday and Wednesday; coffee, tea, and light snacks will be available in 302 Howe Library on Tuesday for those who want to work in-person. Additional benefits are listed below.

The WID Institute will be facilitated by Susanmarie Harrington, Director of the Writing in the Disciplines Program; Daisy Benson, Library Professor; and Summer Pennell, Associate Professor of Education and WID Faculty Associate; and Jean Bessette, Associate Professor of English and WID Faculty Associate.
