Writing Intensive Faculty Symposium

Tuesday, June 02, 2026 - 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Dimond Library


 

Date: June 2, 2026
Time: 8am-4pm
Location: Dimond 352 

Writing Happens in all classes, not just in Writing Intensive ones.

Each year, faculty participate in a year-long program that begins with an immersive day-long workshop in Dimond Library each June, augmented by two additional sessions at the end of their following fall and spring terms. 

All faculty are welcome to register for the WI Faculty Symposium (tenured, tenure-track, lecturer, clinical, etc.). TAs are also welcome to attend. Writing happens in all classes and best practices for WI courses can apply to any course with writing. Spaces are available for up to 25 participants. Priority will be given to faculty teaching WI courses, but we welcome any faculty who are interested in improving student writing in their courses to apply.
