Faculty Learning Community: Students Define Meaningful Writing – What Does This Mean for Us?

A Faculty Learning Community (FLC) featuring CUES Distinguished Fellow Emily Jo Schwaller's CUES project

In this Faculty Learning Community, supported both by CUES and WAC (Writing Across the Curriculum), we share our research on how almost 500 U of A students define meaningful writing and how it connects to the book Making Writing Meaningful: A Guide for Higher Education. We will use this research to help instructors revise, develop, and implement meaningful writing and learning experiences to serve and motivate our students as thinkers, learners, and members of our disciplinary and local community. Participants will end with revised materials, such as assignments, rubrics, syllabi statements, for Fall 2025 and beyond.

Facilitator: Aimee Mapes
