WCC Executive Director Presents at the 2019 Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges Conference

Kevin Dvorak, Ph.D., professor and Executive Director of the NSU Writing and Communication Center (WCC), presented at the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges Conference in Houston, TX, December 7-10, 2019. Dvorak presented alongside Russell Carpenter from Eastern Kentucky University.

The 2019 SACSCOC conference theme was “The New Moonshot: A Giant LEAP for Education.” Their presentation, “Providing Course-Embedded Writing Support to First-Year STEM Students,” illustrated how institutions can design Quality Enhancement Plans that incorporate course-embedded writing support to students in first-year STEM courses to prepare them for both short- and long-term academic and professional success.

Having earned accreditation by SACSCOC, NSU continues to provide resources, programs, and services in order to accomplish and sustain the Principles of Accreditation: Foundations for Quality Enhancement. In addition to working directly with students, the WCC offers faculty support for teaching writing in the disciplines. The WCC continues to assist in writing embedded courses with writing fellows who serve as ambassadors for the center, in over 90 sections of Composition, and in disciplines like History and Political Science, and Speech-Language and Communication Disorders (CSAD), and more.
