University of St. Thomas Engaged in New WAC Effort

 

On June 22-26, I had the great pleasure of running a weeklong faculty workshop at the University of St. Thomas. Under the leadership of Erika Scheurer, newly appointed Director of Wrinig Across the Curriculum, and Pam Nice from the Office for Faculty Development, I met with almost 20 faculty from a variety of disciplines to work on the role of writing in their undergraduate courses. The group was simply wonderful, and we all had a fun but really productive time working on assignment goals and design, creating unique and engaging writing-to-learn assignments and activities, thinking about ways to maximize learning through support for larger projects, and tackling difficult issues of evaluation and assessment. Participants will be presenting revised course designs and syllabi by late August in preparation for the new academic year. I'll be visiting again in November more briefly, bringing the remarkable group back together to share ideas and talk about next steps. Thanks to everyone at St. Thomas, including the super helpful Pat Alexander, for arranging such an enjoyable week in the Twin Cities.
