WAC Conferences

The International WAC Conference is a biennial conference that brings together WAC program directors and faculty from across the curriculum to share research., assessment practices, and pedagogical approaches related to WAC.

The Critical Thinking and Writing Across the Curriculum conference, hosted by Quinnipiac University in Hampden, CT, is held biennially and focuses on approaches to WAC programming and pedagogy that focus on critical thinking.

WAC Consortium

The Northeast Writing Across the Curriculum Consortium (NEWACC) is a regional WAC consortium created in response to a need expressed by area WAC administrators and others involved in WAC-related efforts to form a supportive community that meets regularly to share ideas, WAC-related initiatives, and insights into negotiating institutional politics and funding.  NEWACC provides opportunities for members to draw on each other’s expertise and experience through conversations and workshops at meetings, through a NEWACC listserv, and through the creation of a local WAC consultant list. 

NEWACC meets every fall and spring.  Fall meetings take place alternately at the biennial Quinnipiac University Critical Thinking and Writing conference, and in the off year, rotate to other member institutions.  Spring meetings take place at the annual Northeast Writing Centers Association (NEWCA) conference.  There are no membership dues, but there may be costs associated with registering for meetings.  Those planning to participate in the meetings hosted by the Critical Thinking and Writing conference or NEWCA may pay associated registration fees, to be determined by the host organization.  Members may also be called on to share costs associated with hosting the meeting at a member’s institution during the alternating years. Membership is open to anyone interested in writing/thinking across the curriculum.  For more information, contact Kati Pletsch de Garcia, NEWACC Chair, at kdegarcia@mountida.edu.
