The Writing Intensive Focus Board sponsors workshops every semester to provide opportunities for faculty to share teaching ideas, techniques that will encourage the use of writing as a tool for students to learn course content and also develop their writing and critical thinking skills. Workshops include formal or informal presentations and open discussion of the rewards and challenges of incorporating writing into college instruction.
