Writing Academy Class of 2020 Scholars and Leadership Team
2021 Writing Academy recruiting is underway.
Please contact us to be invited to apply for the class of 2021.
Writing Academy is a career development program designed to advance scholarship. A broad array of scholars at various points in their careers are immersed in a summer-long learning community with peers and senior colleagues to learn successful strategies focused on writing, reflection, and critical feedback. The interdisciplinary opportunities offered during the Academy catalyze interactions across the disciplines and often continue long after the end of the Academy experience. The goal of the Academy goes beyond writing and submitting scholarly pieces and grant proposals to helping participants build a vibrant scholarly life that contributes to the intellectual climate of UNH and beyond.
We've partnered with Howard University for the Writing Academy since it began in 2013. That first year, Howard University faculty participated. As Howard created their own version of Writing Academy focus shifted to include Howard University advanced doctoral scholars and recent PhD graduates in Writing Academy.
We are committed to this partnership which not only enriches the learning community for UNH and Howard scholars but also becomes an opportunity for nurturing future collaborations and synergies between our institutions.

The Writing Academy was enormously beneficial for me to learn personalized strategies to support my writing. It created a supportive environment that I was able to translate into my daily practice. I cannot speak highly enough of this Academy!
