For Faculty
Brief Presentations
Faculty can schedule Brief Writing Center Presentations. These
informational presentations introduce students to the support and services
available through the Writing Center. We recommend requesting these
presentations early in the semester, but mentors can visit at any time during
the term. These presentations take approximately 10 minutes and can be
requested .
In-Class Workshops
During In-Class Workshops, Writing Center Mentors visit your classes for
interactive workshops on common genres and university writing practices.
You can request workshops focusing on APA, annotated bibliographies, or
literature reviews鈥攁nd you can also collaborate with us to design a workshop
on another topic. Please email Writing Center director Dr. Tom McNamara to
schedule an in-class workshop.
WRITING FELLOWS
Through our Writing Fellows Program, you can require your students to
meet with a writing mentor for writing feedback on specific assignments.
We鈥檒l assign mentors from our staff to your class, and they鈥檒l visit throughout
the semester and will be trained to offer feedback suited to your course and
discipline. Writing Fellows are especially suited for asynchronous online
courses. Please email Tom McNamara if you are interested in participating.
Faculty Professional Development
The Writing Center and Writing Across the Curriculum program offer faculty
professional development opportunities each year. In addition to workshops
for Advanced Writing instructors, the Center and WAC host a writing studies
scholar each spring for a faculty workshop series. Previous presenters have
included national leaders in WAC and writing centers like , , , and . To stay updated
on professional development opportunities, email Tom McNamara to be added to the WAC Blackboard page.
