Registration is still open for the CWPA Summer Workshop and Conference, July 20-25, 2026! Join us at the University of Wyoming in Laramie, WY, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Wyoming Resolution and discuss the new WPA Statement on the Five Knowledge Domains of First-Year Composition (4.0)!
CWPA Summer Workshop for New and Returning WPAs: July 20-22
Our focus this year will be to explore on the freshest (cue Kool & the Gang) and hot-off-the press resources recently published by the CWPA.
- Day 1 will focus on the newly published WPA Statement on the Five Knowledge Domains of First-Year Composition (4.0).
- Day 2 will focus on discussions and activities surrounding labor (including the Wyoming Resolution–the reason for the season!), assessment, and developing action plans.
- Day 3 will focus on "Renewing Our Vows: Reflecting on a Year of Cultural Assessment Conversations," WPA self-care and community, and GenAI. Day 3 will also feature two guest speakers.
