Writing Conference
CSUMB and the Academic Skills Achievement Program (ASAP) host the 11th Annual Northern California Writing Centers Association conference on March 8. The keynote speaker is Dr. Nancy Maloney Grimm, associate professor in the Humanities Department, Writing Center director at Michigan Technological University, and author of Good Intentions: Writing Center Work for Postmodern Times.
This year's conference theme, Cultivating the Center: Connecting Diverse Writing Communities, focuses on recognizing different types of writers: student writers, faculty who publish, and writing tutors who tutor writing. The conference will reveal how best to foster diverse kinds of writing.
Questions to be addressed include: How is writing across the curriculum supported? How is literacy acknowledged and fostered? What techniques are used to support writers with disabilities? How is the distance learner supported? What approaches are used to connect and collaborate with faculty?
