George Mason University:

Writing across the Curriculum

A Fairfax campus landmark: George Mason, writer of the Virginia Declaration of Rights, a model for the Bill of Rights.

At our large state institution, we are proud of the culture of writing that has been created and fostered over the years by faculty, academic departments, and higher administration, all of whom share a commitment to student writers and writing in disciplines. Central to our WAC mission is the belief that when students are given frequent opportunities for writing across the university curriculum, they think more critically and creatively, engage more deeply in their learning, and are better able to transfer what they have learned from course to course, context to context.
