From the Provost
As part of a faculty development initiative, 29 new faculty members have joined faculty writing groups. The groups are interdisciplinary, and each group consists of four to six faculty members. The writing groups are designed to provide feedback on manuscripts and to help new faculty allot time for academic writing. The writing groups typically meet every three to five weeks and set their own agenda for each meeting. Some groups spend time writing at their meetings, while others discuss manuscripts and provide editing suggestions. The ultimate goal of the writing groups is to assist faculty in achieving the publication of their scholarly works. More information can be found on the Professional Development Web site. Anyone interested in joining a writing group should contact Susan McMillen, director of faculty development.
