Academic Writing in The Borderlands
Graduate Writing Institute (GWI)
The Graduate Writing Institute (GWI) launched in the 1990s as a collaboration between the University of Arizona Graduate College and WSIP. It was a 3-week long program designed to support U of A graduate students. In the past thirty years, WSIP has assumed control of the program and grown it to serve graduate students from institutions around the world and working in all academic disciplines.
In 2018, former WSIP Graduate Coordinator, Dr. Leslie DuPont, launched hybrid sessions of the GWI, making it possible for students to participate both in person and online. This turned out to be ideal preparation for us when COVID forced the closure of in person events in 2020. We took the GWI fully online with great success.
In addition to the opportunities for personal growth and skill-building, the program has also created moments to build meaningful and lasting professional and personal connections. Many friendships have been born from the program, as have many collaborative relationships.
