Join the New Association for Writing Across the Curriculum

Michelle Cox announced the newly-formed Association for Writing Across the Curriculum (AWAC) last week. According to Cox, AWAC “emerged from conversations held at CCCC 2016, IWAC 2016, CCCC 2017, and CCCC 2018 . . . . to coordinate efforts among existing WAC organizations and ensure their sustainability, as well as enlarge the WAC community and promote new WAC scholarship, collaborations, and activities.” 

First Meeting in June

Plan now to attend the first meeting of the association at IWAC 2018 (full schedule) in Auburn, AL during the J6 session (10:05-11:20 am on Wednesday, June 6).
