“Our colleagues, who recently published a textbook, celebrated their writing success and shared their writing wisdom. The authors attributed many of their achievements to the IFD Writing Teaching Circle (2016-18) and to the Faculty Academic Writing Network (FAWN) (2018-19),” said Aleksondra Hultquist, assistant professor of Critical Thinking & First-Year Studies, and FAWN organizer. “FAWN members also highlighted their writing accomplishments and took a moment to reflect on their productivity, challenges and camaraderie.”
