Carol’s symposium will introduce UI faculty and administrators to the workings and benefits of Writing in the Disciplines (WID) programs, aiming to establish one on campus and bolster Iowa’s reputation as the “Writing University.” Severino will bring to campus three faculty experts in WID programs. These visits follow on the growing momentum to establish a program to strengthen academic writing across the institution, with the aim of cementing Iowa’s reputation as the “Writing University.” The symposium will include presentations, discussions, and meetings with experts, building on workshops hosted by the Teaching with Writing Working Group at the Obermann Center for Advanced Studies.
