WOLF: Written and Oral Literacy Facilitation is a WSEC (Writing and Speaking Enriched Curriculum) certificate program in which departments work with CWSP Co-Directors to develop an undergraduate Writing and Speaking Curriculum Plan (WSCP) in writing and speaking enriched curriculum. Capped at five departments per year, this program engages participating departments in a comprehensive curriculum and assessment plan to build student success in writing and speaking. Department participants meet with the Co-Directors and department committees once a month for a year. Participating department faculty (CWSP Liaisons) will receive a mini-grant of $1000 at the conclusion of the program based on course and assessment plan deliverables, and a poster session at the annual OFE conference.
