Writing Enriched Course Certification
To support students’ success as thinkers and communicators, the University Writing Committee (UWC) has created a new writing enriched (WE) course designation. WE courses may be at any undergraduate level, including 5000-level mixed undergraduate/graduate courses, provided students have opportunities to practice writing skills and strategies that they may use in their discipline, profession, or field. Assignments may be informal (writing to learn) or formal (writing to communicate), and they may include a range of genres and modes, such as recommendation reports, scientific posters, case studies, or ePortfolios, among others. The final deadline to submit course materials is March 11. Read a complete description of the certification process here.

Award for Excellence in Writing Across the Curriculum
The University Writing Committee’s (UWC) Award for Excellence in Writing Across the Curriculum honors academic programs (undergraduate majors) and their faculty who have demonstrated sustained and successful efforts to integrate evidence-based pedagogical practices across an undergraduate major. One award of $20,000 will be given to an academic program to use for faculty professional development. These funds are unrestricted, but the UWC encourages programs to use the money to support writing-focused guest speakers, conference attendance, or research projects.
