Writing to Learn Faculty
Seminar
The University Writing Board presented the Writing to Learn
Faculty Seminar in February. This two-day seminar focused on writing to
learn, critical thinking and discovering methods for teaching writing
effectively. Participants from departments across the campus investigated
the role writing plays in their own research and creative writing projects.
Faculty and professional staff who have joined the SUNY New Paltz community
during the past three years were particularly encouraged to attend.
