----Dr. Barbara Walvoord

MISSION STATEMENT

The primary goal of Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) is to assist colleges, departments, and individual faculty members with all aspects of the teaching of writing and reading in their disciplines, including designing reading and writing assignments, responding to student writing, designing writing assessment, and using writing to improve critical thinking. WAC collaborates with other faculty development and support programs on campus and provides outreach to high schools and community colleges. WAC supports the Academic Affairs goals of excelling in student preparation, enhancing excellence in teaching and learning, developing resources to support instructional needs, and serving the capitol region.
