Professor Receives Outstanding Article Award Nomination

Kevin Dvorak, Ph.D., Executive Director of the NSU Writing and Communication Center (WCC), and co-authors were nominated for a 2021 Outstanding Article Award from the International Writing Center Association (IWCA). Dvorak et al.’s “How Course-Embedded Consultants and Faculty Perceive the Benefits of Course-Embedded Writing Consultant Programs” was published in the March-April 2020 issue of WLN: A Journal of Writing Center Scholarship. Dvorak’s article was co-authored with Julia Bleakney (Elon University), Russell Carpenter (Eastern Kentucky University), Paula Rosinski (Elon University), and Scott Whiddon (Transylvania University).

Each year the IWCA recognizes outstanding scholarship in writing center research, practice, theory, and history that makes a significant contribution to the field of writing center studies. According to Dvorak, “the data we collected, especially since it came from four separate universities, shows how much value there is to course-embedded programming. That value is experienced and highlighted by students, faculty, and peer consultants, which is significant for the institutions where they learn, teach, and work.” Nominees are acknowledged at the annual IWCA conference.
