Writing Across the Curriculum, or WAC, fellows are advanced-level doctoral candidates from CUNY Graduate Center who come to consult on writing pedagogy at Baruch. WAC Fellows have spearheaded curriculum redesigns, lead professional development, taught new educational technologies to faculty, conducted large-scale program assessments, and written published works for and about Baruch.
Each year, a new group of WAC fellows works with the department’s three WAC coordinators Lisa Blankenship, Allison Deutermann, and Stephanie Hershinow, to construct large-scale projects to support Baruch students and writing across campus—including our Composition courses as well as our Writing Intensive ones.
