Join an OFD Summer Writing Accountability Circle (WAC). A WAC is a small group of colleagues who meet weekly to write and share their progress on individual writing projects. WACs are intended for faculty who are committed to participate in a 6-10 week writing group and are willing to support other members in their self-identified writing goals. Each WAC is led by an OFD Scholarly Writing Fellow. Sessions offer dedicated time and facilitated support. WACs are open to all UMass Amherst faculty and librarians.
