Writing Liaisons

At ECU, a Writing Liaison is a faculty member who facilitates communication between academic programs and the University Writing Program to ensure that students receive consistent information about writing expectations and writing strategies. Additionally, the goal of the Liaisons program is to keep the leadership of the University Writing Program, the University Writing Center, and the Writing Foundations Program informed about the kinds of writing that students are expected to do in different degree programs and to keep faculty in ECU’s degree programs informed about what goes on in the Writing Foundations and University Writing Programs in terms of instructional philosophy, curriculum, tutorial support, and professional development opportunities.

In serving as a Writing Liaison, faculty commit to sharing information with faculty colleagues about upcoming events related to the UWP/UWC, responding to queries from the UWP Director about writing intensive issues/concerns in your program, and attending periodic meetings (in-person and/or online) related to any changes that the WAC Committee is considering so that we know we have input from all affected programs before taking proposals to Faculty Senate. Serving as a Writing Liaison is not a heavy commitment but it is an important one as we work to provide ECU students with a cohesive and focused writing intensive program as part of their undergraduate education.
