The University Writing Committee’s (UWC) Award for Excellence in Writing Across the Curriculum honors academic programs (undergraduate majors) and their faculty who have demonstrated sustained and successful efforts to integrate evidence-based pedagogical practices across an undergraduate major. One award of $20,000 will be given to an academic program to use for faculty professional development. These funds are unrestricted, but the UWC encourages programs to use the money to support writing-focused guest speakers, conference attendance, or research projects.

Writing groups are a great way to find community and experience greater wellbeing for writers of all levels. In this discussion, UW administrators and faculty from the College of Engineering will share their ideas about what makes a writing group successful. Participants will gain specific advice on how to start a writing group and how to sustain one through the summer, and perhaps beyond. While individuals are welcome to attend, we especially encourage prospective writing groups to register together.
