Writing Center Partnership with the CFE

The Writing Center is available to students, faculty and staff at Carolina. It assists the Center for Faculty Excellence in helping faculty and TAs develop and enhance writing in their courses and student assignments. Collaborating on programs such as the Future Faculty Fellowship Program and Annual Graduate Teaching Assistant Orientation for graduate students, Writing Center staff provide detailed instruction about how to develop and evaluate effective writing assignments that foster student learning and allow instructors to be more efficient with the assignment review process. The Writing Center staff work with CFE staff, along with other support programs across campus, to assure that writing across the curriculum is emphasized and implemented in course design, instruction, and evaluation.
