AWAC sees mentoring as a vital and exciting way to create impactful and equitable WAC projects across campuses. Because mentoring is a situated activity, this AWAC Committee is charged with facilitating opportunities for various WAC stakeholders. This includes, but is not limited to, providing larger learning opportunities for those interested in adopting WAC pedagogy (e.g., through the WAC Institute and virtual workshops), assisting with the partnership of graduate students with senior members of the community (e.g., through the WAC-GO mentoring initiative), pairing early career academics interested in research with mentors, and providing guidance for administrators interested in program development and assessment (e.g., through virtual workshops and the WAC Board of Consultants). This Committee will endeavor to think broadly so as to have the greatest reach, including identifying opportunities where we can enact positive WAC evolution/change.
