The Carolinas WPA founding board members – Marsha Lee Baker (Western Carolina University), Don Bushman (University of North Carolina – Wilmington), Dee James (University of North Carolina – Asheville), Meg Morgan (University of North Carolina – Charlotte), Paula Rosinski (Elon University), and Tim Peeples (Elon University) – were honored September 19th at the organization’s fall conference at Wildacres.
In 2003, the founding board members successfully proposed the formation of Carolinas WPA as an affiliate of the Council of Writing Program Administrators. The affiliate was developed to encourage communication among community colleges, colleges, and universities, public and private, in North Carolina and South Carolina. Members represent a variety of writing programs, including writing centers, writing across the curriculum programs, first-year writing programs, and professional writing programs. Carolinas WPA enables regional writing program administrators to share concerns and collaboratively respond to issues related to the administration of writing programs.
Thank you, Marsha Lee, Don, Dee, Meg, Paula, and Tim, for your dedicated work on behalf of our organization and our profession!
