We’re excited to announce that Writing Across URI has joined the Office for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning. This transition strengthens our mission to champion writing excellence throughout the URI community.
The focus of our team remains unchanged: fostering a vibrant culture of writing across campus by supporting faculty in their dual roles as writers and educators. We continue to offer retreats, forge strategic partnerships, provide personalized consultations, and facilitate collaborative writing groups that bring together faculty from every discipline.
Listening Sessions
This fall, ATL wants to hear from you about what you’d like to see through Writing Across URI. What programs would be helpful to support your writing practice? What kinds of resources have you found beneficial? Listening Sessions will be offered multiple times over the fall semester, both in-person and virtually. Join a Listening Session to share your thoughts and preferences. We’ll incorporate a consensus into future programming and resource development.
Listening sessions will be held on the following dates and times: New Dates/Times TBD
Winter Writing Retreat (ALL)
Writing Across URI (now housed in ATL) invites all writers to join our Winter Writing Retreat. Keep the momentum going on your academic article, grant proposal, or creative project! There’s no formal program: just bring your laptop and other materials, plus your own lunch/snacks. We will provide coffee and tea! The retreat will be on Friday, February 27th from 9 AM – 3 PM. Feel free to join us for an hour or stay all day!
The retreats will be held in the Large Conference Room of the Coastal Institute overlooking Narragansett Bay (for directions and a map to the Bay Campus). The Coastal Institute is Building #6 on the map (you can park in the lot shaded in blue directly in front of the building).
All are welcome! You will simply be asked, in confidence, to check in with a brief statement of your writing goal and to check out with a brief statement of what you accomplished.
Please let us know if you will be joining us by registering HERE.
Any questions? Reach out to us at teach@uri.edu.
Date: February 27th
