Goal: To improve the WIC offerings available at OSU Cascades by offering a two day WIC training program to Cascades faculty in the fall of 2003. At present, HDFS 461 is the only WIC course offered in Bend. Students in Liberal Studies, Natural Science, and Business need WIC courses as well, as will the majors in forthcoming degrees, such as Education and Ecosystems and Tourism. The WIC director will travel to Bend to facilitate this workshop in which Cascades faculty will develop their ideas about writing across the curriculum.

Goal: The McNair Scholars Program prepares students from under-represented groups for graduate education, the ultimate goal being the attainment of the Ph.D. The WIC grant will fund Writing Mentors (trained in WIC teaching) to work with McNair Scholars during the Summer Research Institute and the academic year.
