Writing Resource Center - Workshops & Events
Several workshops and other writing-centered events take place each term at the WRC's Bellflower Hall location on the north end of the Mather Quad and at other locations on campus. The WRC offers workshops for students, faculty teaching in SAGES and other departments, and Case English Department Writing Faculty. The WRC is also involved in the Center for the Study of Writing's annual Writing Week event.

Faculty
The WRC offers three Brown Bag lunches for faculty teaching writing in SAGES. These sessions offer instructors opportunities to discuss strategies for teaching particular assignments and to learn more about the resources available in the WRC. This semester, all Faculty Brown Bags will focus on teaching argumentative writing in SAGES.
All Faculty Brown Bag sessions are held in Crawford Hall, Room 111, from 11:30 to 1 p.m. on the Thursdays preceeding our student workshops held on Fridays. We ask that faculty RSVP to writingcenter@case.edu
