First Annual Writing Initiative Summer Institute
June 9-12, 2008
This four day institute was hosted by the Title V Writing Initiative with a targeted audience of faculty and support staff who will be directly involved in developing the Writing Intensive courses over the next 4 years that are at the center of the Initiative.
Through a combination of hands-on and informational sessions presented by the Initiative staff, PCCC staff and guest speakers, this institute prepared faculty for the curricular redesign and implementation of these Gen Ed courses.
