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 They have succeeded in a very difficult transition from an outdated model of composition based in literature into one that serves students across the curriculum and builds a culture of writing across diverse faculty interests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).

Ubbesen\, Director of Writing at University of Minnesota Rochester. \nIf you are an AWAC member\, register for the event by clicking HERE. Interested guests can review our individual and institutional membership options before registering. Registration will close Wednesday\, May 11th at midnight (ET). \nEvent Recording: \n\nDr. Ubbesen will examine how our assessment practices\, specifically grading and evaluating student work\, through the lens of access can create inclusive access not only for students and instructors with disabilities\, but for everyone in the class. Accessibility is also a matter of anti-racist\, feminist\, and trauma-informed pedagogies that tend to students’ intersectional identities. She will provide the rationale for her credit-based evaluation scheme\, which is a form of ungrading that promotes meaningful learning over obtaining letter grades and will also analyze student reflections on this grading scheme. Participants will reflect on their own grading schemes and evaluation practices and learn ways to make them more accessible and equitable. \nSpeaker Bio \nMolly E. Ubbesen\, Ph.D. (she/her) is Assistant Professor and Director of Writing at University of Minnesota Rochester. She applies critical disability studies to writing studies to support more accessible and effective teaching and learning. Dr. Ubbesen has published work in Writing Program Administration\, Composition Forum\, and Disability Studies Quarterly. She is on the editorial team for a second edition of the foundational text Disability and the Teaching of Writing\, and she is also working on a research project about accessible assessment. A favorite part of her job is teaching the Disability Narratives course she designed. \nQuestions?

Interested guests can review our individual and institutional membership options before registering. Registration will close Monday\, April 4th at 5:00pm ET. \nIn her article parsing Dewey for modern educators\, Carol Rodgers (2002) remarks\, “Over the past 15 years\, reflection has suffered from a loss of meaning. In becoming everything to everybody\, it has lost the ability to be seen” (p. 843). As WAC practitioners\, we echo Rodgers’ call to revisit reflective writing\, especially considering the ways it can support students’ wrestling with complex questions of the discipline and create more inclusive classes. \nIn this interactive workshop\, Christy and Julie will engage participants in writing\, thinking\, and applying various approaches to reflective writing tasks. They’ll share their research exploring qualities of reflective writing in disciplinary literacy assignments at their institution\, and they’ll provide examples of individual and group reflective writing tasks. Participants will leave the session with some new writing-to-learn strategies to add to their WAC toolboxes and an intention to try out a new reflective writing strategy in their classes or professional development work. \nQuestions the workshop will consider:   \n\nWhat is your existing knowledge of and comfort with reflective writing? What kinds of reflective writing activities/purposes do you include in your courses or your professional development work?\nWhat tensions or wonderings do you (or the WAC faculty you work with) have around reflective writing?\nHow do the goals and outcomes of reflection change based on where it is placed in the course/unit/assignment? How can we connect reflective writing activities with course objectives?\nHow do we assess or provide feedback on reflective writing?\n\nSpeaker Bios \nDr. Christy Goldsmith is the Assistant Director of the Campus Writing Program at the University of Missouri-Columbia. Through narrative inquiry\, Christy explores the intersection of writing teachers’ identities as writers and teachers-of-writing\, highlighting the tensions inherent in writing instruction. Her second strand of research revolves around the teaching and learning of disciplinary literacy\, including professional development design at the secondary and post-secondary levels. \nDr. Julie Birt is the Coordinator at the Campus Writing Program at the University of Missouri. Julie’s research follows her interests in helping post-secondary instructors use writing in their college classrooms to reach all students\, most specifically\, those with a rural background. Outside of her regular research\, Julie enjoys working directly with students to help improve their writing and communication skills in science courses. \nQuestions?

Just as importantly\, as a young organization\, we must also ask: How can we bring antiracist practices to all aspects of AWAC and\, by extension\, WAC work? \nTo this end\, this year’s meeting will have two elements: \n\nA report on the work of AWAC from June 2020 to July 2021\, including reports on committee accomplishments from the chairs.a\n\n\nA conversation about racism and antiracist practices with the concrete goal of brainstorming answers to the question\, How can we bring antiracist practices to all aspects of AWAC and WAC work?\n\nIn preparation for the June 15th meeting\, we encourage you to reflect on this question with respect to the full range of AWAC’s work. As you reflect\, you might find it helpful to view this video of our most recent virtual WAC pedagogy workshop\, “WAC Pedagogy\, Equity\, and Antiracism.” Drs. Teresa Redd\, Zhaozhe Wang\, and Kate Drezek McConnell talk about the many challenges to achieving equity in WAC programs and solutions for developing antiracist practices in WAC courses.

Conformity or Equity?: Designing WAC Assignments to Promote Equity in the Curriculum\nPresenter:  Teresa Redd\, former director of Writing Across the Curriculum and the Center for Excellence in Teaching\, Learning & Assessment at Howard University \nDescription: Drawing upon Critical Language Pedagogy\, the presenter will examine how WAC assignments can promote conformity or equity in the curriculum. First\, she will demonstrate how WAC privileges the canons and conventions of the dominant group in a discipline.  Then she will expose the consequences: how WAC assignments marginalize people of color by requiring students to conform to canons and conventions that often do not include their perspectives or address their needs. Finally\, by sharing excerpts from WAC assignments from Howard University\, she will illustrate how some Howard faculty have designed WAC assignments to create an equitable curriculum that can benefit all students. \nPresenter Bio: Teresa Redd directed Howard University’s Writing Across the Curriculum Program for 24 years as well as the Center for Excellence in Teaching\, Learning & Assessment for nearly 13.  She also served on the Board of Consultants of the International Network of Writing-Across-the-Curriculum Programs for 19 years.  She is best known for co-authoring A Teacher’s Introduction to African American English: What a Writing Teacher Should Know\, published by the National Council of Teachers of English (2005).  Since retiring\, she has served as a WAC consultant and published “Breaking Out of the Box: Expanding the WAC Program at Howard University” in Shirley Logan and Wayne Slater’s volume Academic and Professional Writing in an Age of Accountability (Southern Illinois University Press\, 2018). \n2. Autoethnography as a Site of Negotiation for Linguistic Justice\nPresenter:  Zhaozhe Wang\, doctoral candidate in the Department of English at Purdue University \nDescription: This presentation will draw our attention to international multilingual students who are victims of tacit or explicit linguistic racism on campus. The presenter will begin with a call for meaningful advocacy work in the disciplines\, then introduce an autoethnography assignment designed to cultivate linguistic equity and combat linguistic racism. The description of the assignment will be illustrated with a student case. The presenter will conclude by offering suggestions on how to appropriate the assignment for WAC/WID contexts. \nPresenter Bio: Zhaozhe Wang is a doctoral candidate in the Department of English at Purdue University\, where he teaches writing and communication. His work\, broadly exploring multilingual literacy and transnational digital/public rhetorics\, has appeared in journals such as College Composition and Communication\, Composition Forum\, and Rhetoric Society Quarterly. He is also co-editor of Reconciling Translingualism and Second Language Writing. \n3. What the Written Communication ‘Landscape of Learning’ Reveals about Equity in Undergraduate Learning\nPresenter: Kate Drezek McConnell\, Assistant Vice President for Research & Assessment and Director of the VALUE Institute\, AAC&U \nDescription: AAC&U’s inaugural Landscape of Learning report spans five years (2014-2019) of findings on student learning outcomes gathered from samples of student work submitted by campuses and evaluated by national panels of scorers using the VALUE (Valid Assessment of Learning in Undergraduate Education) rubrics. For written communication\, the most frequently subscribed outcome\, results are based on over 20\,000 scored pieces of student work. This presentation will share aggregate results for Written Communication focused on equity\, diversity across higher education sectors\, and quality of learning within the undergraduate curriculum. \nPresenter Bio: Kate Drezek McConnell\, PhD\, is Assistant Vice President for Research & Assessment and Director of the VALUE Institute\, AAC&U’s nationwide assessment system that enables any higher education provider (institution\, PCE program\, academic department\, state\, consortium\, etc.) to collect and upload samples of student work to a digital repository and have the work scored by certified VALUE Institute scorers for external validation of institutional learning assessment. An educational psychologist by training\, Dr. McConnell has written extensively on the reliability and validity of the VALUE approach to assessment. Her other research and campus consultations focus on using course-embedded assessment to improve teaching and learning while also addressing accountability and accreditation requirements; course-embedded assessment; aligning pedagogy with assessment efforts; faculty development; and leveraging the learning sciences in teaching\, assessment\, and evaluation. Before joining AAC&U\, Dr. McConnell spent ten years at Virginia Tech working in assessment and evaluation as well as serving as affiliate faculty in Virginia Tech’s graduate program in educational psychology\, teaching courses on cognitive processes and effective college teaching. She received a BA from the University of Virginia\, an MA in history from Providence College (Rhode Island)\, and a PhD in educational psychology from Virginia Tech. \nThis content is for members only.Join NowAlready a member?

Recent pressures due to budget cuts\, the effects of Covid-19\, and rapidly shifting priorities in higher education have further threatened the sustainability of WAC programs at the same time as these challenges have highlighted their importance. This workshop will examine ways to keep WAC programs thriving\, including the formulation of strategic plans with stakeholder input\, aligning program goals with campus priorities\, using SWOT analyses to mitigate external threats with internal strengths\, and the ability to be flexible in order to meet changing campus needs. Drawing from the literature in strategic planning as well as the recent book Sustainable WAC (Cox\, Galin\, Melzer\, 2018)\, the presenters will discuss the ways in which they have focused on program sustainability in three different institutional settings. We will save a significant amount of time towards the end of the webinar for brainstorming further ideas for sustainability and for participants to apply these frameworks to their own institutional settings. \nThis content is for members only.Join NowAlready a member?

From scientists to creative writers\, historians to mathematicians\, all of us and our students need response (AKA “feedback”) to what we have written in order to help us develop our ideas and make our writing effective in reaching our readers. \nQuestions the workshop will consider: \nAs teachers and mentors\, how can we make our responses most timely and most meaningful to our students toward achieving their writing goals? \nAs writers\, how can we get the feedback most useful to meeting our own writing goals? \nHow can we help writers maintain ownership of their writing\, while also helping them improve the quality of what they write? \nHow can we help our students become effective responders themselves to the writing of peers and other writers? \nHow can we as responders become more aware of and respectful of cultural and linguistic diversity? \nHow can technological tools\, especially in online instruction\, improve response while also helping to build a community of learners and writers? \nHow can we adapt response to the increasing variety of genres\, purposes\, styles\, and media in communication? \nIn this interactive workshop\, Pam\, Kelli\, and Chris will give short presentations to address the above questions—with focus on sequenced response and peer review\, response to the expressed needs of writers\, connections between purpose and audience for both writer and respondent\, and features of responding to writing in online environments. \nParticipants will then engage in breakout groups to help each person develop response strategies pertinent to their own teaching and writing. \nPresenter Bios \nChris Thaiss served as Clark Kerr Presidential Chair and Director of the UC Davis University Writing Program and directed Davis’s Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (until 2015).

When students write frequently and informally about the material of their courses\, they experience deeper learning—stronger analysis\, synthesis\, and integration of ideas—and enhanced reading processes (Graham & Hebert\, 2010). And when this low-stakes writing is woven into the fabric of their courses\, class sessions can be more engaging and socially dynamic. \nIn this interactive workshop\, Marty Townsend and Chris Anson explained the theoretical orientation of writing to learn\, including distinctions between writing to learn and more formal\, higher-stakes writing\, and then engaged participants in methods for designing and evaluating effective\, learning-based writing assignments and integrating them into their courses to enhance student engagement. \nPlease note that video includes example WTL assignments shared in PowerPoints that can only be shared with the permission of the authors of the assignments. If you wish to share any material from the PowerPoints\, please contact Marty or Chris for permission (see AWAC Board of Consultants for their contact information). \nPresenter Bios \nMarty Townsend is Professor Emerita of English at the University of Missouri (MU) and former Director of MU’s award-winning Campus Writing Program (from 1991-2006). Marty has spoken\, consulted\, and led faculty workshops at over 100 colleges and universities in the U.S. and in dozens of international settings. She has taught a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses on writing. Her research interests include WAC\, WID\, writing assessment\, and writing program administration. She is a passionate advocate for teaching writing in all disciplines. \nChris Anson is Distinguished University Professor\, Alumni Association Distinguished Graduate Professor\, and Director of the Campus Writing and Speaking Program at North Carolina State University\, where he works with faculty across the disciplines to enhance writing and speaking instruction. He has published 19 books and 140 articles and book chapters relating to writing\, WAC\, and WID\, and has spoken and led faculty workshops across the U.S. and in 33 other countries. He is Past Chair of the Conference on College Composition and Communication and Past President of the Council of Writing Program Administrators\, and is co-chair of AWAC’s International Collaborations Committee. He is currently co-editing a new collection on the writing-enriched (WEC) approach to writing across the curriculum.
