Writing Across the Curriculum supports effective, course-relevant approaches to writing instruction with two programs: Writing-Enriched Curriculum (WEC) and Teaching with Writing (TWW). WEC partners with undergraduate degree programs to build curriculum and assessments for discipline-relevant writing instruction. TWW hosts an extensive annual series of workshops, seminars, panel discussions, and faculty writing retreats, and is open to all faculty, staff, and instructors on the University of Minnesota–Twin Cities campuses.
