WIC Culture of Writing Awards: A Call for Nominations<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

by Alex Werndli, WIC Intern<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attention WIC faculty! Remember to identify strong papers from your fall WIC course as possible nominees for the WIC Culture of Writing Award in your discipline. Units submit nominations by June 1st, 2020.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why give writing awards in the disciplines? This recognition sends a message to undergraduates and to the university community that excellence in writing matters in the unit, is recognized by the faculty, and is rewarded. For many students, even knowing that a professor has nominated their paper for a writing award is a significant form of recognition and a source of pride. The WIC program conducted a survey of previous Culture of Writing Award recipients in spring of this year, wherein respondents articulated the value of the award to them as young scholars.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
