PARTNERS IN WRITING PROGRAM
The Center for Faculty Excellence, the University Library, the Humanities Lab, and the Faculty Senate Committee on Scholarship are partnering to support faculty writing projects with the recently re-launched Partners in Writing Program. Whether you are working on a book chapter, editing a fellowship or grant application, or drafting an op-ed, this program offers both on-campus spaces for writing and opportunities to team up with colleagues – ad hoc or on a regular basis – in Writing Groups.
Partners in Writing Cohorts
Partners in Writing Cohorts is a faculty writing accountability program that combines protected writing time with peer support. Faculty will be placed in small interdisciplinary cohorts of 4-6 colleagues who meet weekly for a two-hour writing session throughout the semester. Participants may choose either an in-person or virtual cohort. CFE will organize cohorts, reserve meeting space for in-person groups, and coordinate program logistics, allowing participants to focus on their writing. Just bring your writing project, preferred writing tools, and refreshments, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Register for Partners in Writing Cohorts
(Please complete the registration form by no later than Tuesday, September 8. Writing Cohorts will be confirmed by Monday, September 14.)
