Many of the articles included in the index have been published in our bi-semester Newsletters. They are intended to facilitate conversation, provide some pointers and tips, and support you as you find ways to incorporate writing into your curriculum. To ease your access, they are arranged topically. All faculty members are invited to participate in our Newsletters which will automatically be included in this web site respository. If you would like to contribute an article, a useful class handout, or reflection piece about writing, please contact Phyllis Benay.
