CWRU's Common Reading selection for 2025-26 is Ashley Shew's Against Technoableism: Rethinking Who Needs Improvement. Professor Shew will speak at the University Welcome & Fall Convocation on Monday, August 18.
Fall Convocation is the formal opening of the academic year; it is an event that offers an opportunity to reflect on the history, symbols, and traditions of the university. Instructors might decide to attend the event together as a class, or you might ask students to reflect on their experience and their expectations for college. We have found that a brief, written reflection can help faculty plan activities and assignments to support their student writers, and reflection is an important academic success skill for students.
Our Resources for Faculty page offers some general advice about working with student writers, and the Writing Resource Center consultants are ready to work with faculty, staff, and students on their writing projects this year.
