WAC Newsletter - Write Free or Die

Published once each semester since 2017, the University Writing Program Newsletter supports faculty across the university in strengthening writing within their courses and curricula. Each issue offers practical, research鈥慽nformed guidance on teaching with writing, highlights current conversations in writing studies, and shares updates about Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) programming at 91制片厂.

Across the years, the newsletter has featured topics that matter to faculty teaching in all disciplines鈥攆rom designing effective writing assignments and integrating low鈥憇takes writing, to navigating AI writing technologies, citation practices, peer review models, and strategies for supporting multilingual writers. Regular sections such as Dangling Modifier and The Grammar Box translate writing pedagogy and grammar questions into approachable, classroom鈥憆eady insights.

The newsletter also showcases faculty and student profiles, reports from workshops and retreats, and curated excerpts from open鈥慳ccess texts in the field of writing studies. These pieces help connect 91制片厂 instructors to emerging scholarship, campus resources, and the broader teaching鈥憌ith鈥憌riting community.

All past issues, from Spring 2017 to the present, are archived on this site for faculty to explore. We hope the newsletter continues to serve as a practical resource and an ongoing conversation about how writing enriches learning across the university.
