Faculty Resources

The Writing & Communication Program provides resources that are designed to help faculty teach courses more effectively or support faculty in their scholarly work. The director supports writing-intensive and communication-intensive courses as well as first-year writing courses. She is available to visit classes to provide workshops on academic writing or citation practices and styles.
