Congrats to TUWC staffer Lindsey Steffen! Her senior seminar project was accepted for publication in RhetTech, an online journal of undergraduate digital scholarship at James Madison University. Lindsey's work involved designing and creating a podcast that explored the concept of gaslighting and campus cultures. Many thanks to Professors Emily Goodman and Simona Fojtova for their support of this project as defense committee members; thanks as well to TU's digital liberal arts programming!

We couldn't be more proud of Lindsey!

Hi y'all. It's Scott. Hope you're well...

Just wanted to share: I won the Southeastern Writing Center Association Achievement Award for 2022.

One of the great honors and joys of my life has been working with TUWC staffers, allied faculty, and friends/supporters over the past 16 years. I've never once had a boring day in the writing center. Staffers .-- alums, current ranks, everyone -- make real magic happen, every single day...

Here's to the little program that could.

Today, TUWC is honored to have Dr. Karen Moroski-Rigney as a guest workshop leader. We could not be more lucky to have her as a supporter and as a long-term friend of the program.

A new publication from TUWC director Scott Whiddon and Dr. Rusty Carpenter of EKU's Noel Studio Of Academic Creativity. This piece reflects some of the work that's being done in course-embedded pedagogy. Props to the staffers who have served as CECs over the past few years. Special thanks to the faculty who have supported such efforts.

We're looking forward to sharing more of this work at the upcoming Southeastern Writing Center Association conference.

Here's to the little program that could.
