Community College Resources

Community College Outreach

WAC's Outreach program has sponsored several projects since its inception in 2009. Our aim is to foster and support writing at Appalachian but in the larger community. If you are interested in any events that we host for our community college colleagues, please consider signing up for our Community College Mailing List by contacting Kelly Terzaken at terzakenks@appstate.edu. We send out event announcements, website updates, and calls for materials through this list!

We support community college faculty through our 112 Faculty Development, in which we visit community colleges or host workshops designed to help with the transfer or development of 112 classes. We also host an annual conference, Writing Across Institutions (WAI), for community college faculty to share ideas, network, and learn from experts in the field.

We have also provided workshops for Forsyth Tech, Coastal Carolina Community College, Wilkes Community College, Mitchell Community College, Johnston Community College, and Craven Community College at their campuses.
