Writing Intensive Curriculum Program

Faculty interested in the Fall 2012 Introductory WIC Faculty Seminar should ask their department chair to send an e-mail nomination to WIC Program Director Vicki Tolar Burton at vicki.tolarburton@oregonstate.edu.

Through the annual Culture of Writing Awards, WIC and participating departments and schools foster a commitment to excellence in undergraduate student writing and recognize the value of writing across the disciplines. Participation in the Culture of Writing Awards has increased from 6 departments in 2006 to 15 departments in 2011. In that time span, 99 students have earned recognition and cash awards through either individual or team writing projects.

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.
