The Writing Across the Curriculum Program (WAC) at Appalachian State University supports writing instruction, teaching with writing, and writing initiatives across the university and in the community. For its central role in the university’s general education vertical writing curriculum (VWC), WAC was awarded the CCCC Writing Program Certificate of Excellence in 2012. WAC sustains the VWC through a comprehensive faculty development program that encourages communication among faculty teaching at all levels in the VWC and facilitates dialogue and professional development for community college writing faculty in North Carolina. WAC hosts regular conferences, institutes, writing groups, and retreats for writers and writing teachers, and WAC consultants offer workshops, consultations, and direct classroom support for faculty.
