In previous academic years, the University Writing Program has run the Institute in Teaching Writing-Intensive Courses, begun by the UWP's first director, Dr. Patrick Bizzaro. Each year, Dr. Bizzaro, and later our second director, Dr. Jim Kirkland, invited 6-10 WI course instructors to attend the program. Participants learned how others in the program teach their WI courses by demonstrating a teaching method addressing in some fashion the teaching of writing in their classes. Many of these demonstrations were written as articles and published here on the UWP website so other instructors might avail themselves of this valuable information.

The program has evolved again, and is now the Writing Across the Curriculum Academy.  For more information on the new WAC Academy, contact its director, Kerri Flinchbaugh.
