Fall 2026 Letter to Faculty

Hello faculty friends,

We wanted to give you some updates from the Center for Excellence in Writing to make the most of our collaboration in the upcoming year. 

Syllabus insert and classroom visit

Here is a link to our most updated syllabus insert that you can copy and paste.

If you would like to schedule a classroom visit, this link will get you to the request form. 

Semester theme – The Reading Writer

Based upon our observations and feedback from the campus community about the erosion of reading habits, our theme this semester is “The Reading Writer.”  Our goal is to strengthen the culture of reading on campus. We have scheduled several activities associated with this theme that are listed here.  Most notably, we are offering workshops on Reading Strategies (reading for purpose) and moving from Critical Reading to Critical Writing.  Feel free to offer incentives to your students for participation. We can provide a record of attendance. 

Expanded Oral Communication Support

In place of the Oral Communication Lab which we hosted the past few years on Fridays, we will be mainstreaming oral communication support services in the Center going forward. Get the details about oral communication support services here.  

As always, we welcome your feedback and are happy to make special accommodation to support your students. Reach out to us at writing@buffalo.edu at any time.

The CEW Team
