Our Mission
Through a writing-enriched curriculum that emphasizes the transfer and iterative building of writing abilities across a student’s liberal arts education, the Writing at Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» (WAM) program seeks to foster rhetorically informed and reflective writing experiences within all academic units at Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³». We primarily do this in three ways:
- We support all Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³» students as critical readers, ethical researchers, and rhetorically savvy digital multimodal writers of academic, public, and professional writing through sustained general and course-embedded resources provided by the Writing Center and Writing Fellows program.
- We extend our support to students through our partnerships with undergraduate and graduate faculty who teach courses in which critical reading, writing, and information/digital literacy are taught and, often, reinforced through the incorporation of digital portfolios.
- We extend our support to students and faculty by sustaining and iteratively improving writing curricula, especially in the undergraduate first-year writing program which includes Writing 101, Writing 105, and LinC/MILE 101 and in undergraduate Writing-Intensive/Writing TAGS courses in each discipline.
