The 1997 ACA Culpeper-funded "Communicating in the 21st Century: Writing Across the Curriculum at Private Colleges of the Mountains" began with the belief that writing and technology are integral to all disciplines.  Since 1997, we have been actively involved with private colleges in the Appalachian region.  As we encourage faculty members to use more writing in their disciplines, we also encourage them to consider their own writing.  Modeling writing behavior to students, sharing writing with colleagues, and submitting writing for professional publications - these activities help to enhance the writing environment in colleges and universities.  To help faculty members in ACA institutions to share ideas, we invite them to join our WAC listserv to share questions, offer writing assignments for specific feedback from peers, and even ask for help on scholarly articles.
