Writing Academy Class of 2020 Faculty Scholars and Leadership Team

2020 Writing Academy is underway.
Please contact us to be invited to apply for the class of 2021.

Writing Academy is a faculty development program that helps advance the scholarly careers of faculty at UNH. Faculty are immersed in a summer-long learning community where they interact with peers and senior colleagues to learn successful strategies focused on writing, reflection and critical feedback. The interdisciplinary opportunities offered during the Academy catalyze faculty interactions across the disciplines and often continue long after the end of the Academy experience. The goal of the Academy goes beyond having faculty write and submit scholarly pieces and grant proposals to helping them build a vibrant scholarly life that contributes to the intellectual climate of UNH.

Writing Academy 2020 has moved online and all sessions will be held virtually.
