SUMMARY:AWAC Virtual Roundtable: WAC Exemplars: How Award-Winning Programs Make WAC Work
DESCRIPTION:AWAC’s Mentoring Committee is delighted to host the following virtual roundtable: \n  \nEvent: WAC Exemplars Roundtable: How Award-Winning Programs Make WAC Work \nAll AWAC members are invited to join us for this virtual roundtable on Wednesday\, February 7\, from 3-4:15 Eastern/2-3:15pm Central/1-2:15pm Mountain/12-1:15pm Pacific. \n  \nPresenters: \n\nSara Glennon\, Landmark College\, winner of the 2023 Exemplary Emerging WAC Program Award\nJohn Kipp\, Landmark College\, winner of the 2023 Exemplary Emerging WAC Program Award\nKimberly Gunter\, Fairfield University\, winner of the 2023 Exemplary Established WAC Program Award\nPamela Flash\, University of Minnesota\, winner of the 2023 Exemplary Enduring WAC Program Award\n\n  \nOverview:  \nMentoring Committee invites all AWAC members to a virtual roundtable featuring the winners of the 2023 WAC Exemplary Program Awards. The Exemplary WAC Program Awards series recognizes the extraordinary achievements of WAC directors and/or administrative teams to establish\, maintain\, and sustain programs that foster and facilitate exemplary engagement with writing across the curriculum at their institution\, as well as institutional commitments to support these achievements. We are honored to host our winners for a roundtable presentation and a Q&A. \nSara Glennon and John Kipp of Landmark College: Writing Across the Curriculum at Landmark College has emerged as a program deeply rooted in the institution it serves. Not only is WAC@LC building better learning experiences for Landmark College students\, it is developing new knowledges and best practices regarding neurodivergent student writers. Of specific note has been the cultural uptake of the WAC@LC program’s student-centered and theoretically grounded work. \nKimberly Gunter of Fairfield University: Fairfield has brought the Core Writing Program into the heart of best practices and theoretical framing within the field of Writing Studies. They have succeeded in a very difficult transition from an outdated model of composition based in literature into one that serves students across the curriculum and builds a culture of writing across diverse faculty interests and expertise. WAC programming has significantly impacted the campus writing culture and transformed into a vertical and writing across the curriculum model. The program offers an exemplary model for how to integrate threshold concepts of writing studies in vertical WAC programs. \nPamela Flash of University of Minnesota: The University of Minnesota’s 35-year-old WAC Program supports writing instruction across and within academic disciplines and institutional contexts. Although the program began as a part-time effort initiated to support an ambitious writing-intensive course requirement\, it has steadily expanded and evolved. Now\, with fiscal support from Minnesota’s central administration\, the program offers a robust menu of interdisciplinary programming (the Teaching with Writing Program) and a comprehensively structured system of departmental support (the Writing-Enriched Curriculum Program). By hosting conferences and institutes\, publishing findings\, and offering institutional consultations\, Minnesota’s WAC program has also supported other WAC professionals embarking on similar work\, showcasing their impact not only on their own campus but to our broader WAC community. \n  \nPlease sign up for the event using this link: https://iu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_57woeZ0Gt8dhy9o  \nA Zoom link to the event will be provided upon registration. \nQuestions? Please contact AWAC Mentoring Committee Chair Jackie Kauza (jkauza@iu.edu).

SUMMARY:AWAC Reads: Zoom Discussion of "A Dual Mission: Antiracist Writing Instruction and Instructor Attitudes about Student Language"
DESCRIPTION:Announcing AWAC Reads\, a new program from the AWAC Mentoring Committee!\n  \nWhat is AWAC Reads?\nKeeping up-to-date on scholarship is often challenging for busy academics. Additionally\, it can be a lonely endeavor\, with few opportunities to dig into and discuss publications with colleagues. \nAWAC Reads\, a hybrid reading group\, aims to create a space for collegial conversation about WAC and writing scholarship (while hopefully encouraging all of us to squeeze some of that reading into our schedules!). Both AWAC members and non-members are welcome to participate! (Not yet an AWAC member? Click here to learn more.) \nHow does AWAC Reads work? \n\nTwice in the Fall semester and twice in the Winter/Spring semester\, AWAC’s Mentoring Committee will announce a scholarly article that we will be reading.\nA version of the article will be made available on Perusall\, an online social annotation platform. Interested individuals will be able to sign into Perusall\, read the article at their leisure\, and leave asynchronous comments and points of conversation that other readers can see and engage with on their own time.\nSeveral weeks to a month after the article is made available on Perusall\, there will also be a synchronous Zoom meeting\, where readers can join a live conversation about the article that is facilitated by members of AWAC’s Mentoring Committee.\nAWAC Reads participants are welcome to take part on Perusall only\, on Zoom only\, or on both platforms.\n\nInterested? Continue reading below for more specific information about our first AWAC Reads! \nWhat is our first article?\nIn February 2024\, we’ll read “A Dual Mission: Antiracist Writing Instruction and Instructor Attitudes about Student Language” by Adrienne Jankens\, Clay Walker\, Linda Jimenez\, Mariel Krupansky\, Anna E. Lindner\, Anita Mixon\, and Nichole Guinot Varty. This article was published in 2023 in Across the Disciplines (vol. 20\, no. 1/2). \nThis article was selected by AWAC Reads facilitators Sara Austin (AdventHealth University)\, Lauren Garskie (Gannon University)\, and Michele Zugnoni (Northwestern University). \nHow to join AWAC Reads on Perusall:\nYou can join the AWAC Reads Perusall here: https://app.perusall.com/join/martin-mm2r3 \nDue to Perusall limitations\, we had to set deadlines for “assignments.” These readings will continue to be available for your reading past the listed due date. \nSign in to Perusall at any time to read the article and engage in asynchronous conversation with your fellow WAC and writing studies colleagues! (New to Perusall? Check out this introduction to the platform from Dawson College.) \nHow to join AWAC Reads on Zoom:\nOur synchronous conversation on Zoom will take place on Friday\, February 16\, at 2pm ET (1pm CT\, 12pm MT\, 11am PT). If you are interested in participating in a live dialogue about our article\, please sign up here: https://forms.gle/G9AyJ3tAPSK8LMfc7 \nWhether you have time to read the article deeply or simply give it a skim\, please join us regardless! We welcome your contributions and conversation. \nLinks for the Zoom meeting will be distributed via email a few days in advance of the meeting date. \nQuestions about AWAC Reads?\nContact Jackie Kauza (jkauza@iu.edu) or Caitlin Martin (martc148@erau.edu). \nAnd stay tuned for more information at the end of the semester about our companion program: AWAC Summer Reads!
