Weber Writes



Weber Writes – A Program for Untenured Faculty

Spring 2007

Deadline September 1, 2006

Research shows that regular, daily writing increases the scholarly output of University faculty.

To capture the benefits of brief, daily writing sessions for Weber State faculty, the Research, Scholarship and Professional Growth Committee administers the “Weber Writes” program.

Faculty will be given a one-course reduction in their teaching load to enable them to spend more time on scholarship.

A log of writing output and weekly strategic sessions are required.

Results will be tracked and used to drive program improvement, continuation, or discontinuation.

This program is for non-tenured faculty who are on the tenure-track and are full-time. If tenured and interested in a course reduction, please apply for an RSPG grant.

Decisions on Spring 2007 funding must be made before the spring schedule is finalized. The application deadline for the Spring 2007 round is September 1, 2006. Submit to RS&PG Chair Susan Matt (smatt@weber.edu).
