Sections for First Year Writing, AWD, and Diversity and Inclusion

In the Diversity and Inclusion section, under Research, you’ll find materials from our many workshops on working with multilingual writers dating back to 2012. These materials have not been ingested into NUWPArc as of March 2023.

This houses the CSSH Commons where you will find our course shells, for example, for 3304. To find the CSSH commons, go the Canvas Commons, click on Filter on the upper right, and choose CSSH Commons from the menu that comes up. Course shells file near the bottom of the search results.
