Writing Across the Curriculum

A partnership between the Writing Program and the Office of Faculty Affairs, the Writing Accountability program hosts small, facilitated groups to support faculty research and work-life balance year-long. Drawing on NCFDD and DU professional development resources, participants meet weekly to identify and support advancement of individual projects. Rather than exchanging manuscripts or reviewing content, however, group conversations focus on the process of writing.

If you are interested in conversations about WAC or in setting up a 45-minute conversation with a writing faculty member, please email our University Writing Program Manager, Amanda Thompson. 

Faculty can support their student writers with the help of the Writing Center, which not only offers individual and small-group consultations all undergraduate and graduate students but also can visit your class to talk with students about how to make the most of their Writing Center visits, present briefly on effective writing practices, arrange peer reviews, and offer resources. The Writing Center can also arrange individual consultations with you and a writing faculty member to talk about your teaching of writing. 

Preparing your class for a presentation and looking to have posters made? 

The Writing Program & Writing Center can offer your student group support for effective research poster design, including live and recorded workshops and resources. 

We also offer poster printing to DU students, faculty, and staff for research and academic presentations for a nominal fee. 

It is the University Writing Program’s position that genAI is a powerful and productive development in the long history of literacy technologies, and that the teaching of writing should include methods of integration and collaboration with these technologies while also interrogating the rhetorical and ethical dimensions of genAI.
