The program was designed to foster mentor-like relationships through literacy. Writing Partners Program was first piloted at Sacramento State in the summer of 2005 by Dr. Catherine Gabor, then with the English Department, a former member of Write to Succeed, Inc. and co-creator of the original Writing Partners Program. Since then, Writing Partners has run every semester at Sac State, in courses such as nursing, teacher education, EOP, first-year student seminars, and composition.
