The UCI Office of the Campus Writing Coordinator is pleased to announce its upcoming workshops and new series on the teaching of writing at UCI. In addition to our regularly scheduled workshops, we are planning three new series: "The Write Start," a symposium for Lower-Division Writing Faculty; "Fostering Rhetorical Education," a lecture series, and "Communication across the Curriculum," a workshop series. Please visit us at writing.uci.edu/ for more information. The Write Start, a Symposium for Lower-Division Writing Faculty. This quarterly series will focus on pedagogical and theoretical issues relevant to all faculty and graduate assistants working in lower-division writing programs (Composition, Humanities Core Course, and the First-Year Integrated Program). Discussions will consider recent scholarship in the field of composition studies, including research produced here at UCI. Our first topic will be "Teaching Information Literacy." Communication across the Curriculum, a Workshop Series. Our students are increasingly asked not only to write well, but also to communicate effectively through a range of venues and platforms, whether it is through social media campaign, multimedia presentation, poster presentation, or oral delivery. This quarterly workshop series will showcase how different faculty and staff work with students to develop diverse communication skills and strategies in a variety of course, disciplinary, and even co-curricular contexts. Fostering Rhetorical Education, a Lecture Series. Our students face an array of writing and communication opportunities: learning to write for academic courses, developing skills and strategies for professional communication, and, in some cases, even participating in organizations and causes that require thoughtful communication with audiences unfamiliar with or even opposed to their views. This quarterly lecture series will invite discussion about how campus scholars, educators, and staff might help students foster more critically aware and rhetorically savvy approaches to this range of communication challenges.
