AboutWAG is a peer accountability/support program designed to increase faculty writing productivity. Groups meet for 60 minutes every week at the same time for 10 weeks. These meetings include individual timed writing periods and discussion/sharing of weekly writing goals and updates. Space is limited to 4-8 participants per group. Evidence shows that WAG members significantly improve their writing productivity/quality, goal setting and time management skills, and opportunities to network and build community. At the info session, Tara Burke (ARCH) will review WAG guidelines and protocols, provide additional tools and resources for those hoping to set up a writing schedule for the semester, and review common tricks/tips regarding writing for proposals. At the meeting, she will also open the "Request to Join Fall 2019 WAG" intake form for faculty who wish to participate. Interested in learning more before the session?
