University Writing

Three times each fall and winter semester, monthly luncheon-workshops are held for all full-time and part-time faculty. Professors from all disciplines and guest speakers from other campuses join with the Associate Dean of Undergraduate Education and the Coordinator of Writing Fellows to present effective pedagogical strategies for helping students with writing and other forms of communication.
