So that we can learn as we go, we will pilot all major strategies of the Writing Excellence Initiative before fully implementing them. We are looking for volunteers eager to get going by joining our First Flight Program.
Academic Departments
We’re looking for six academic departments to serve as pilots. Each department in our First Flight Program will receive a $5,000 grant and additional support from the Center for Writing Excellence. The departments will form an interdisciplinary collaborative.
Application: First Flight Application for Academic Departments.
Deadline: April 30, 2013.
More information: Contact Paul Anderson, 6646.
Student Life
The Writing Excellence Initiative will provide grants and additional assistance to selected Student Life departments and programs that pilot strategies of the Writing Excellence Initiative next academic year.
