Colleagues,
Exciting news! We’re launching the third annual AWAC Summer Mentoring Program, an inclusive online cross-institutional mentoring program available to all professionals in writing and communication studies. Participants have their choice of focus areas, which include many different disciplines in addition to a myriad of pursuits such as program development, curriculum design, writing centers, first-year writing, research/publication, career development, incorporating DEI, and more. Hosted by the Association for Writing Across the Curriculum’s Mentoring Committee, the program will pair professionals in one-on-one relationships that not only offer mentoring, but also create opportunities for cross-institutional connections among like-minded peers. This is a great opportunity for networking and career growth.
Join us this summer. We’re asking mentors and mentees to give just one hour of their time during the months of June, July and August, for a total of three hours. Mentoring can be conducted on Zoom, in email, or in any other format that makes distance connection possible.
