Cross-Disciplinary Brown Bags:

Each semester since Spring 2010, three brown bags on WAC topics have been held.  

These informal meetings are for faculty and teaching staff from across the disciplines.  They focus on

--how we can best help students learn to write well in our disciplines

--how we can best help students learn disciplinary content by writing

  The following brown bags are scheduled for Spring 2013:

Friday, February  15:  Encouraging Students to Revise (at noon, in  YU 201)

Friday, April 5: Encouraging Students to Use Sources and Citations Appropriately (at noon, in YU 201)
