Faculty Meeting Announcements and Slides

The Writing Program has an all-faculty meeting on (usually) a Wednesday or Friday afternoon at the beginning of the Fall semester and the Spring semester. All full-time lecturers are expected to attend, and part-time lecturers and graduate writing fellows are welcome to attend. We have archived the slides and notes here, as key information is often shared in these slides.
