Associate Program Chair - Writing Across the Curriculum

About the role

The Associate Program Chair of Writing Across the Curriculum provides academic leadership and coordination for Post University’s Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) initiative within the School of Arts & Sciences. Working under the direction of the Program Chair of Liberal Arts and in collaboration with program chairs, faculty, instructional design, and academic leadership, the Associate Program Chair supports the integration of effective writing instruction and discipline-appropriate writing practices throughout the undergraduate curriculum. The Associate Program Chair promotes writing as an essential component of disciplinary learning, critical thinking, communication, and professional preparation. The position supports faculty in developing meaningful writing assignments and assessments, promotes consistency and quality in writing instruction across academic programs, and contributes to the ongoing assessment and improvement of students’ written communication skills. This position serves as a resource and facilitator for faculty across disciplines and supports the development of a culture in which writing is understood not solely as a skill taught in English courses, but as a fundamental means through which students learn, communicate, analyze information, and demonstrate disciplinary knowledge.
