By strengthening relationships with faculty and staff, the SHU Writing Center has expanded its services to create and implement initiatives. New types of workshops and strategies targeting specific student populations will be discussed. Participants will be guided through steps to take to become the architects of their own cross-campus collaborations.
The presenters will explain the background for collaborations, as well as their process for developing, implementing and revising the activities stemming from their partnerships. Specific strategies will be shared, as well as the resulting impact from these initiatives. Video testimonials from colleagues involved will also be shown. In addition to sharing their experiences, presenters will guide participants through steps so they can begin exploring outreach on their own campuses: recognizing concerns, identifying possible collaborators, determining a process, implementing initiatives, considering revisions, and evaluating new projects. Participants will share their ideas during the workshop.
