SUMMARY:AWAC Virtual Workshop - WAC’s Leadership Role in Promoting AI Literacy Across Disciplines
DESCRIPTION:AWAC’s Mentoring Committee is delighted to host Kimberly Harrison\, Ming Fang\, and Mike Creeden for a virtual workshop on “WAC’s Leadership Role in Promoting AI Literacy Across Disciplines.” \nDate: Tuesday\, March 31\nTime: 12pm ET (11am CT\, 10am MT\, 9am PT\, 5pm GMT\, 6pm CET) \nPresenter Info:\nKimberly Harrison\, WAC Director\, Florida International University\nMing Fang\, WAC Associate Director\, Florida International University\nMike Creeden\, Faculty Fellow for 21 st Century Learning \nGenerative AI is reshaping how students write\, how faculty design assignments\, and how institutions define career readiness. Writing Across the Curriculum programs have long been at the forefront of effective pedagogy in higher ed\, and in this shifting landscape\, WAC programs continue to be uniquely positioned to lead—and to model—approaches grounded in effective pedagogy rather than panic. \nIn this interactive workshop\, we argue that fostering AI literacy is not separate from WAC’s mission but deeply aligned with it\, and we frame AI literacy as an opportunity to strengthen and reassert core WAC principles. In support of this claim\, we will discuss our cross-campus partnership efforts\, share our faculty professional development models—including workshop topics and an embedded micro-credentialing program—and showcase faculty assignment redesigns that integrate AI in pedagogically grounded ways \nWorkshop participants will be invited to share AI WAC success stories\, highlighting both challenges and breakthroughs. Together\, we will analyze these examples and brainstorm strategies for positioning our WAC programs as essential in shaping ethical\, sustainable AI pedagogy within our institutional contexts. \nPlease sign up for the event using this link. A Zoom link to the event will be provided upon registration. \nQuestions? Please contact AWAC Mentoring Committee Chair Jackie Kauza (wolfstar@umich.edu). Thank you!

SUMMARY:AWAC Virtual Workshop - Building Coalitions for Writing Program Advocacy
DESCRIPTION:AWAC’s Mentoring Committee is delighted to host Anna Kinney and David Beard for a virtual workshop: “Building Coalitions for Writing Program Advocacy” \nDate: Friday\, February 13\nTime: 12pm ET (11am CT\, 10am MT\, 9am PT\, 5pm GMT\, 6pm CET) \nPresenter Info:\nAnna Kinney\, Coordinator of the University Writing Program\, University of North Dakota\nDavid Beard\, Writing Studies BA Program Coordinator and Professor of Rhetoric\, University of Minnesota-Duluth \n\nDeclining enrollment. External stakeholders focused on ROI and “efficiencies.” Misaligned strategic investment risk causing reduction or elimination of those who are committed to the shared values of higher education. The pressures we face are many and exhausting. In this session\, we will share what we’ve learned from these challenges\, from navigating internal institutional pressures to doing “sneaky advocacy” with legislators and state boards. Our hope is to use this session as a space where we can connect\, share\, strategize\, and build coalitions as a community to build resilience and continue advocacy. \nPlease sign up for the event using this link: https://umich.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_b3OfxHC0L1DDZIy \nA Zoom link to the event will be provided upon registration. \nQuestions? Please contact AWAC Mentoring Committee Chair Jackie Kauza (wolfstar@umich.edu).

SUMMARY:WAC Exemplars Roundtable 2026: How Award-Winning Programs Make WAC Work
DESCRIPTION:AWAC’s Mentoring Committee is delighted to host the following virtual roundtable: \n  \nWAC Exemplars Roundtable 2026: How Award-Winning Programs Make WAC Work \nDate: Thursday\, January 29\nTime: 1-2:15pm ET (12-1:15pm CT\, 11am-12:15pm MT\, 10-11:15am PT\, 6-7:15pm GMT\, 7-8:15pm CET)\nRegistration Link: https://umich.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0OEcndyZI5IbSiq \nPresenters:\nMegan Callow\, University of Washington Seattle\, winner of the 2025 Exemplary Emerging WAC Program Award\nRebecca Taylor\, Colby College\, winner of the 2025 Exemplary Emerging WAC Program Award\nChristopher Basgier\, Auburn University\, winner of the 2025 Exemplary Enduring WAC Program Award\nErika Scheurer\, University of St. Thomas\, winner of the 2025 Exemplary Enduring WAC Program Award \nOverview: \nAWAC’s Mentoring Committee invites all WAC practitioners to a virtual roundtable featuring the winners of the 2025 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. \nMegan Callow and Rebecca Taylor of University of Washington Seattle: The 2025 Emerging Exemplary WAC Program\, Writing@UW\, is conducting thoughtful\, intentional\, and fruitful work at the University of Washington Seattle. In its first three years\, this program has already fostered both micro- and macro-level engagements across its university system. The formations of the cross-campus and cross-disciplinary Writing Board and the Faculty Fellowship program demonstrate the program’s robust collaborative efforts\, while the Writing Pathways website showcases the program’s commitment to equity and agency by allowing all students to explore their own writing journeys and direct their own placement in their writing education. This is a program that is addressing writing needs for faculty\, administration\, and students. \n\nChristopher Basgier of Auburn University: As a 2025 Exemplary Enduring WAC program\, Auburn University’s program has exemplified what it means for a WAC program to evolve and deepen over time. Founded in 2010 and now in its second phase of leadership\, the program is thoroughly embedded in the university’s academic fabric\, offering a model of writing as a unifying force in the undergraduate and graduate experience. University Writing not only supports student writing and faculty development across disciplines\, but also actively engages with contemporary issues affecting higher education—equity\, wellbeing\, GenAI\, and multimodal literacy. With this award\, we celebrate the program’s commitment to compassion\, communication\, and institutional change through writing. \n\nErika Scheurer of University of St. Thomas: As a 2025 Exemplary Enduring Program\, the University of St. Thomas’s WAC program has demonstrated thoughtful\, intentional leadership throughout its long history. In addition to scaffolding writing instruction throughout the curriculum in an innovative way that facilitates learning generally and disciplinarily\, the support for faculty in preparing them for the work of guiding students in writing intensive courses is noteworthy. Indeed\, with this program we see deep faculty engagement as evidenced by their participation in a five-day development program and the sheer number of courses designated as WAC-related. Additionally\, the Committee was impressed by the 10-year strategic and assessment plans in place that provide a clear pathway forward and regular feedback to the program. Such plans will allow the program to evolve over time to respond effectively to the needs of its stakeholders.

SUMMARY:AWAC Virtual Workshop - Frameworks for Change in Trying Times
DESCRIPTION:AWAC’s Mentoring Committee is delighted to host Alex Arreguin and Caitlin Martin for a virtual workshop: “Frameworks for Change in Trying Times.” \nDate: Thursday\, November 20\nTime: 3pm ET (2pm CT\, 1pm MT\, 12pm PT)\n\n\n\nPresenter Info: \nAlex Arreguin\, English Residential Faculty and outgoing District Faculty Development Coordinator\, Mesa Community College (AZ) \nCaitlin Martin\, Assistant Professor and Director of the Writing Program\, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University\n\n\nMany WAC programs want to create more supportive institutional cultures of writing\, but change of this kind is both difficult to enact and often invisible. Join Alex Arreguin and Caitlin Martin to discuss explicit and implicit indicators of change and how they can be used to better understand cultural change in higher education. They’ll provide an overview of this framework using examples from writing-related faculty development at three institutions and the 2024-2025 Sensemaking for Student Success Program\, a Lumina Foundation-funded change initiative that supported eight teams from higher education institutes in Ohio. Participants will leave with resources to help them track change indicators at their own institutions. \nPlease sign up for the event using this link: https://umich.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4MH34hPd84ee3pc \nA Zoom link to the event will be provided upon registration. \nQuestions? Please contact AWAC Mentoring Committee Chair Jackie Kauza (wolfstar@umich.edu).

SUMMARY:AWAC Research and Publications Collaborative Talk -Virtual Reality and Embodied Writing: Implications for WAC Pedagogy
DESCRIPTION:The Research and Publications Committee of the Association for Writing Across the Curriculum invites all AWAC members to a collaborative talk on Virtual Reality and Embodied Writing: Implications for WAC Pedagogy.  (Not yet an AWAC member? Click here to learn more.) \n\nDate: Friday\, October 10\nTime: 12pm ET (11am CT\, 10am MT\, 9am PT) \n\nJoin on Zoom: https://yorku.zoom.us/j/94956998883\n \nPresenters include: \nElizabeth Caravella\, Assistant Professor at York University\nSarah Riddick\, Associate Professor at Worcester Polytechnic Institute\nRich Shivener\, Associate Professor at York University\nJason Tham\,  Associate Professor at Texas Tech University\n\n  \nThis collaborative talk presents findings from an international research project investigating virtual reality as a tool for writing in courses and professions. Through mixed-methods research\, the team examined how writers adapt to immersive technologies and reflect on the embodied nature of composition. Our research suggests that a productive pedagogical approach to incorporating technologies such as VR involves understanding its unique affordances rather than expecting the tools to replicate familiar writing practices. For AWAC members\, the team aims to generate a conversation about the pedagogical potential of VR in WAC programs and accessible concerns associated with immersive technologies.\n \nQuestions about this talk?\n\nContact Tom Deans\, Professor of English\, UConn\, and Chair\, AWAC Research and Publications Committee (tom.deans@uconn.edu).

SUMMARY:AWAC Virtual Roundtable - WAC Exemplars Roundtable 2025: How Award-Winning Programs Make WAC Work
DESCRIPTION:AWAC’s Mentoring Committee is delighted to host the following virtual roundtable: \nEvent: WAC Exemplars Roundtable 2025: How Award-Winning Programs Make WAC Work \nPresenters:\nRachel Jasiczek\, CT State Community College Norwalk\, winner of the 2024 Exemplary Emerging WAC Program Award\nKirsti Cole\, North Carolina State University\, winner of the 2024 Exemplary Enduring WAC Program Award\nRoy Schwartzman\, North Carolina State University\, winner of the 2024 Exemplary Enduring WAC Program Award\nBeth Carroll\, Appalachian State University\, winner of the 2024 Exemplary Enduring WAC Program Award \nOverview:  \nMentoring Committee invites all AWAC members to a virtual roundtable featuring the winners of the 2024 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. \nRachel Jasiczek of CT State Community College Norwalk: Starting small\, the CT State Community College Norwalk WAC Program has expanded steadily since its beginnings in 2021. This WAC program has grown to serve twelve community college campuses in the CT State system. Operating with the assistance of WAC advocates across these campuses has required an impressive degree of collaboration. Equally impressive are the program’s efforts to meet the needs of a diverse student body across the twelve campuses. Efforts to promote equitable grading and linguistic diversity stood out to the awards committee\, as well as a forward-thinking perspective on AI. \nKirsti Cole and Roy Schwartzman of North Carolina State University: For more than 28 years\, the Campus Writing and Speaking Program (CWSP) staff has not only provided on-the-ground support for promoting\, assigning\, and assessing student writing to faculty and instructors across 68 departments and 12 colleges\, but along the way\, has also played a pivotal role in articulating a high-level vision and direction for a culture of writing that permeates the university\, its administration\, and the many publics whom they serve. NC State is one of the longest-standing programs in communication and writing across the curriculum\, yet is also one our field’s most engaged and innovative programs\, instilling confidence in its sustainability and continuing effectiveness. The CWSP staff’s contributions to research in writing and communication have resonated broadly\, marking them as among the most influential in the field. \nBeth Carroll of Appalachian State University: The WAC program at Appalachian State University stands as an enduring WAC program that both engages students with its Vertical Writing Model that accompanies and “grows with” students all four years\, and also engages faculty as they work with writing-intensive curriculum anchored in Writing Studies. The Vertical Writing Model\, so integrated within the General Education Curriculum\, shows the eagerness of the administrators to reach students through all stages of their college experience. We appreciate the forward-thinking\, data-driven approach the program offers to not only its students\, but also its faculty. \nAll AWAC members are invited to join us for this virtual roundtable on Monday\, March 10\, from 1-2:30pm Eastern/12-1:30pm Central/11am-12:30pm Mountain/10-11:30am Pacific.  \nPlease sign up for the event using this link: https://iu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eG6J9xPAg25uTHg  \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!

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 Workshop: The Latest Arrival: Reflecting on Generative AI's Enrollment in Writing-Intensive Courses
DESCRIPTION:AWAC’s Mentoring Committee is delighted to host Dr. Laura Allen and Dr. Gavin Johnson for a virtual workshop exploring “The Latest Arrival: Reflecting on Generative AI’s Enrollment in Writing-Intensive Courses.” \nAs we approach the conclusion of the first full semester during which generative AI tools have become widely recognized\, discussed\, and integrated into certain classrooms\, we find ourselves at a fascinating crossroads. Is it time to integrate AI into writing pedagogy? Our universities have begun formulating AI policies\, while government regulations are still lagging behind. \nJoin us as we engage in reflection on the impact of generative AI during the Fall 2023 term and\, together\, chart a path forward for writing instructors in this evolving landscape. \nAll AWAC members are invited to join us for this workshop on Friday\, December 1st\, from 4:15-5:15pm Eastern/3:15-4:15pm Central/2:15-3:15pm Mountain/1:15pm-2:15pm Pacific. \nPlease sign up for the event using this link: https://iu.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1yO74IEGJS1AHSC  \nA Zoom link to the event will be provided upon registration. \nQuestions? Please contact AWAC Mentoring Committee Chair Jackie Kauza (jkauza@iu.edu).
