2025 Summer Workshop

CWPA Workshop for New, Prospective, and Continuing WPAs

Join new, prospective, and continuing national (and perhaps international) colleagues who administer writing programs of all kinds to discuss the theoretical, curricular, and political dimensions of our work. The 2025 CWPA workshop will build on the previous year’s workshop through a focus on navigating social and professional change in equitable ways. Change is a constant that impacts higher education and writing program administration with the consistency of weather. Technology, social policies, social injustice, discrimination, war, genocide all contribute to campus environment, student dispositions, and critical thought in ways that are difficult to predict, and sometimes difficult to navigate. We will engage in an interactive and dynamic workshop that focuses on the role of social impact on institutional mission to the development of a program profile that embraces and engages student voice, and the recognition of harm as a part of administrative literacies essential to navigating change at the ever-evolving modern University.
