WAC

Writing Across the Curriculum

 

 NEXT COMMITTEE MEETING:


What is WAC? WAC is a movement designed to emphasize writing in the various disciplines. It is based on the premise that writing is a mode of learning, and that through writing, we are able to gain an increased understanding about a subject.  On The College of Saint Rose campus, the WAC Committee meets 3-4 times a semester to discuss writing related issues and activities to help both students and faculty. Please contact the WAC Committee Co-chairs if you are interested in being on the Committee.  Faculty, staff, and administrators are welcome!

WAC Committee Co-chairs:

Daniel Nester , Assistant Professor of English

Jaclyn Amoroso , Coordinator of the Writing Center
