See the message below about a few opportunities from WPA-GO, the WPA Graduate Organization. You can read more about them online and become a member. This is a fairly new organization within WPA, and it’s a great opportunity for graduate students to get involved and even run for leadership/committee positions. ~Ashley Holmes

WPA-GO is very excited to announce two calls related to the 2014 CWPA Conference:

Call for Applications: 2014 CWPA Graduate Student Travel Grants

The WPA Graduate Organization (WPA-GO) & the Council of Writing Program Administrators (CWPA) are pleased to offer at least six travel grants of $100 each to current graduate students presenting at the 2014 Council of Writing Program Administrators Conference, to be held July 17-20 in Normal, IL, including at least one travel grant for a graduate student presenting in RWG @ CWPA 2014.

Call for Presenters and Discussion Leaders: Research/Writing Group @ CWPA 2014

The WPA Graduate Organization (WPA-GO) invites presenters and discussion leaders to participate in our first Research/Writing Group (RWG) sessions at the 2014 CWPA Conference in Normal, IL. RWG @ CWPA is free and open to all CWPA Conference registrants.

RWG @ CWPA provides an opportunity for writing program researchers (graduate students, faculty, administrators, independent scholars, etc.) to discuss current works-in-progress at various stages of completion (from brainstorming to revision) and form lasting research/writing groups with fellow researchers from across the country.
