The following awards are currently accepting nominations.

Exemplary WAC Program Award: Emerging Program Award

The Association for Writing Across the Curriculum and the WAC Clearinghouse invite nominations for the inaugural Exemplary WAC Program Awards. The Exemplary WAC Program Awards series recognizes the extraordinary achievements of WAC directors and/or administrative teams to establish, maintain, and sustain programs that foster and facilitate exemplary engagement with writing across the curriculum at their institution, as well as institutional commitments to support these achievements. Three awards will be issued each award cycle, corresponding with the years dedicated to program building. This award is for programs that have been in existence for five or fewer years.

Any program that works toward the broadly shared goals identified in the Statement of WAC Principles and Practices is eligible to apply. Programs that focus on specific academic levels (such as a program designed for graduate students), or disciplines (such as a program supporting specifically business communication), or that work toward these goals without being named a “WAC program” (such as a writing center) are also eligible to apply. Both peer and self nominations are encouraged.
