Cheyenne Ross, Undergraduate Writing Coordinator, Reflects on her Spring 2019 Writing Across Communities Collaboration with Dr. Lequez Spearman
How often do we, as students, experience writing in the classroom as a dissociating experience where personal voice is thought to be the opposite of “professional”? How often do we suppress our own thoughts and ideas in writing assignments to conform to perceived ideas of “standard” and “academic”?

Call for Applications: Faculty Collaborations with Writing Across Communities
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.
Call for Applications: Faculty-in-Residence, Writing Across Communities
As Writing Across Communities Faculty-in-Residence, SJU faculty from any and all disciplines and colleges will have the opportunity to gain knowledge and experience related to writing and writers across communities, be central to the initiatives of the program, and collaborate with/mentor faculty peers, students, and administrators.
