Graduate Writing Project

In Fall 2002, the School of Information became an affiliate of the University of Texas's Graduate Writing Project, which began as a pilot effort in 2001 to provide writing support for UT's graduate student population. Other participating programs include Civil Engineering, Nursing, Educational Psychology, and Theatre. The Graduate Writing Project bridges the mission and philosophy of the Intellectual Entrepreneurship (IE) program and the Undergraduate Writing Center (UWC): the GWP is committed to student accountability for and ownership of their disciplines.

The 2002-2003 writing consultants for School of Information are Danielle Cunniff Plumer and Carla Darocy Hultberg. Danielle is in her second year at School of Information. She has a Ph.D. in English from the University of California at Davis. She has taught composition and literature at UC Davis, the University of New Mexico Los Alamos, and Austin Community College. Carla is also a second year School of Information Master's student. She has an M.A. in English from UT Austin, with a concentration in creative writing, and currently teaches in the Division of Rhetoric and Composition; she is also a consultant for the Undergraduate Writing Center.

The GWP office is located in SZB 447. For more information, see the GWP Webpage at http://www.ischool.utexas.edu/programs/grad_writing_project.html
