The CUNY Writing Across the Curriculum/Writing in the Disciplines (WAC/WID) program is a remarkable project that brings together faculty and graduate students from across the University in a system-wide effort to strengthen the writing of CUNY’s nearly quarter of a million undergraduates. This program is coordinated by the WAC Coordinator, Prof. Tara Pauliny. She holds a PhD in English Composition and Rhetoric, and has been teaching writing for over a dozen years. The proposal to establish requirements for Writing Intensive courses at the College was prepared and submitted by Prof. Mark McBeth, Deputy Chair of Writing Programs/English, José Luis Morín, Interim Dean of Undergraduate Studies, and Kevin Murtagh, CUNY Writing Fellow, and approved in 2008.
