Writing & Communication Center Faculty Coordinator Named SWCA Digital Content Developer

Eric Mason, Ph.D., Halmos College of Arts & Sciences Associate Professor and NSU Writing and Communication Center (WCC) Faculty Coordinator, was named Southeastern Writing Center Association (SWCA)’s Digital Content Developer (2020-2022). The SWCA’s mission is to “advance literacy; to further the theoretical, practical, and political concerns of writing center professionals; and to serve as a forum for the writing concerns of students, faculty, staff, and writing professionals from both academic and nonacademic communities in the southeastern region of the United States.”

Of his new position, Mason stated “The SWCA community extends across nine states, and having effective online communication is incredibly important to making members aware of all the ways they can benefit from and participate in the work of the SWCA–from our events and journal to our research grants and writing center certification program. I look forward to improving SWCA members’ ability to collaborate and communicate online.”

At NSU, Mason is one of three faculty coordinators in the WCC where he works with faculty to design and implement pedagogies that help students improve their writing and communication skills. Mason also teaches undergraduate writing courses and graduate classes in the Composition, Rhetoric, and Digital Media Master’s program, such as Editing, Layout, and Design (WRIT 5800), and Technical Writing (WRIT 5400). Mason also hosts “The Writer’s Edge” Podcast, the WCC podcast set to explore what it takes to succeed as a writer in academia and beyond.
