Writing Intensive Curriculum Program

We’re extremely excited to announce the topics, guest speakers, and schedule for the WIC Spring 2012 Lunches.  This spring, all lunches will be held in Milam 215 from noon to 1 p.m.  American Dream Pizza and beverages are on us!  Please RSVP by 5pm PST the day before each lunch using the auto-registration links below.  (If you have already registered by e-mailing us, there’s no need to register again—we’ve got you down.)

With the arrival of spring term, OSU academic units will have the opportunity to recognize their best undergraduate writers with the WIC Culture of Writing Award in the discipline.  Units even get matching funds from the WIC program!  Our goal this year is to simplify the process by which students receive the monetary awards by establishing one protocol which can be applied through any business center.   

Every year, we ask our seminar participants to rank order the values they look for when evaluating writing in their disciplines.  This year, the four values that were listed by over half our participants include:

• Writing that is appropriate for the audience;
• Effective organization;
• Ideas fully developed; and
• Strong, accurate content.
