The Roundtable Workshops offered as part of the Writing Summit offer faculty across campus the opportunity to meet in small groups with colleagues and Writing Studies faculty. The themes of the Roundtable Workshops reflect writing concepts that will influence discussion and exploration of disciplinary writing assignments. The Workshops focus on finding and discussing strategies to effectively introduce and respond to student writing.
Roundtable Workshops are designed to allow faculty to join and leave as their schedule allows. We encourage faculty to attend multiple tables during the allotted time. We also encourage faculty to bring course materials so Table Presenters can help you enhance your curriculum.
