St. John’s University’s Writing Across Communities program encourages and supports students and faculty who strive to use writing to sustain diverse academic, cultural, civic, and professional communities both across St. John’s and beyond the university. (https://www.stjohns.edu/academics/office-provost/writing-across-communities) Writing Across Communities works with a “Students as Partners” philosophy, and Undergraduate Writing Coordinators are fully collaborative partners with “distinct, yet equally valuable expertise and experience to contribute” to projects (Bovill, Cook-Sather, Felten 2011).
Faculty from any discipline and college at St. John’s University, including University Libraries, are invited to propose collaborations. Below you’ll find a list of suggestions for projects. Based on the project faculty propose and develop with Writing Across Communities staff, faculty will receive a stipend in the range of $250-$1000. The determination of the actual amount of faculty stipends will be informed by contact hours, duration, and scope of engagement, as well as the integration, implementation, and impact the project will have within writing communities.
