The WIC Team is happy to report the success of the 2019 Spring Lunch Series. Presenters shared their passion for innovation as they helped us to explore new strategies and revisit well-loved staples. This year’s Lunch Series featured deep thoughts on assignment design for low-stakes writing, rhetorical perspectives for learning disciplinary genres, feedback tools for teaching WIC on Ecampus, and models for introducing students to ecological thinking in the writing classroom. Thanks again to our dedicated presenters and to the WIC community for being a lively and supportive audience.
