WRAC is supported by CEETL, the Division of Undergraduate Studies and Academic Planning, the Committee on English Proficiency (CWEP) and Academic Affairs. WRAC began as a national movement that originated with the goal to reform higher education in a variety of settings (e.g., community colleges, public universities, research universities, etc.) by integrating writing throughout all levels of education.
To reinforce these student-centered initiatives, we primarily support faculty teaching writing-intensive courses, including the First Year Experience (FYE) courses, the Graduation Writing Assessment Requirement (GWAR) courses and Capstone courses that are writing-intensive. We offer individual consultations and workshops for faculty and promote the sharing of best practices in writing pedagogy through faculty learning communities. Through our work, we hope to contribute to a campus culture that values writing as a high impact practice in higher education.
