Message from the Director

Welcome to the Writing Across the Curriculum home page!

The Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) program is a resource for all faculty and students at Queens College. Our aim is to encourage, stimulate, and support a culture of writing on campus.

Writing is a crucial medium for the kinds of thinking college students and faculty engage in on a daily basis. We aim to foster writing practices that enable students and faculty to reflect on, understand, and explore knowledge within particular fields of study and the larger world these fields seek to understand.

This site offers details about WAC projects and resources. WAC has many tentacles, all of them designed to make the campus conversation about writing intellectually stimulating, accessible, and practical:

The CUNY Writing Fellows (Ph.D. students from the CUNY Graduate Center available to work with students and faculty on writing and learning projects)
Faculty Partners (full-time faculty from each of the college's four divisions who work to develop writing pedagogy and goals from within the disciplines)
Teaching Resources for Faculty
Writing and Learning Resources for Students
The Writing and Learning Library in 316 Razran Hall
Events: Workshops, Seminars, Roundtable Discussions
Information about the College's Writing Intensive Requirement and the Writing Intensive (W) Courses offered each semester
Guidelines for proposing a Writing Intensive (W) Course
Revisions: A Zine on Writing at Queens College

Please feel free to contact the WAC offices for more information. You should also feel free to contact me directly.

I encourage you to stop by the WAC office in 316 Razran Hall. (Our office hours are posted on the the bottom of every page.) We have a growing library of books, articles, and teaching materials, and we are always happy to consult with students and faculty.

Sincerely,
Jason Tougaw
Director, Writing Across the Curriculum
