Held in Howe Library, May 20 & 22
In this interactive institute, we’ll reflect on your teaching priorities (particularly those connected to writing and information literacy) and outline meaningful assignments that support those priorities. 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. Look forward to some supportive fall connections with your fellow Institute participants.
The institute will meet in-person on Tuesday and Thursday; on Wednesday individuals can make one-on-one consultation appointments and use the time for independent work. Coffee, tea, and lunch will be provided. 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 Associate Professor; and Ingrid Nelson, Associate Professor of Geography and WID Faculty Associate.
