Writing, Presenting, and Publishing
Faculty Learning Communities on Writing
These communities are groups of faculty from multiple disciplines who meet regularly to work on individual projects or goals related to a common theme, such as Writing an Article in 12 Weeks . These communities thrive on interactive practices and provide collegial support for structuring, writing, and/or editing papers and manuscripts. For questions about these FDC services or for individual or group consultations on your writing projects, contact FDC Faculty Coordinator for Scholarly and Creative Activity Dr. Terri Patchen at tpatchen@fullerton.edu.
