At heart, all campuses are campuses are communities of writers, and our faculty writing programming is designed to support the success of faculty as writers.
Whether you write articles, book chapters, grant proposals, creative projects, new course lectures, or letters to your elected officials, our programming is designed to help you carve out uninterrupted time to focus on your writing and network with colleagues across Mason.
Faculty Affairs & Development and Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) have partnered to offer the Faculty Writers Community, a combination of weekly writing sprints and Faculty Writing Retreats.
