Welcome to this year's annual Writing-Intensive (WI)
Workshop at Spelman College. I 'm excited to serve as the
chair of the WI Committee, on behalf of the Comprehensive
Writing Program.
This workshop wil l provide you with critical resources for
teaching writing in your discipline. Whether you are
teaching Introductory Biology or Food in the City, writing
across the curriculum/writing in the disciplines (WAC/WID)
is an initiative that wil l enable you to strategically address
writing in your area of study.
We'd love to hear more about your (WAC/WID) experience!
There wil l be dedicated time for you to express how writing
works in your f ield, as well as address your unique concerns
about teaching writing.
Thank you for your participation!

WHAT IS THE CWP?The Spelman College Comprehensive Writing Program (CWP) was founded
over thirty years ago by Spelman alumni Dr. Jacqueline Jones Royster. Its
purpose was to improve Writing Across the Curriculum and support Writing
in the Disciplines (WAC/WID).
Currently, hundreds of Spelman students are served by the CWP each year.
We provide extensive programming to the college, guided by the principle
that writing is a powerful tool for thinking, inquiry, and communication.
Moreover, the CWP continues to serve Writing-Intensive courses
throughout the college. In particular, the CWP operates two major sites of
language learning and writing on campus. They are described, as follows:
The Spelman College Writing Center
The Writing Center is the home of the CWP, but it is not the CWP. Its
function is to provide students with access to trained peer tutors and
multimedia labs that feature MAC and PC computers, scanners, printers, etc.
Curricular Initiatives
Spelman College requires all disciplines to participate in Writing-Intensive
courses. Two campus-wide commitees support this objective: the First-Year
Writing and Writing-Intensive Committees. Campus-wide writing
workshops for students are also held throughout the semester to address
the unique needs of these courses. Faculty Development opportunities such
as this workshop and SpelFolio assessment also strengthen the CWP's
curricular initiatives.
Other programs and initiatives that are affiliated with the CWP include:
SpelFolio, ADW, SWE, The Writing Minor, and Writing as an Area of Deep
Study in the English Major.
