The Howe Writing Across the Curriculum (HWAC) Program is the teacher-facing program of the Howe Center for Writing Excellence. It supports innovative teaching with and about writing across all colleges and disciplines through a variety of programs. The primary goal of HWAC is to support deep change that is initiated by teams of faculty who transform teaching and learning across their programs and departments. The Howe Faculty Writing Fellows Program is the cornerstone project helping to facilitate this work.
