All advisory board members are graduates or current faculty members of VSU and will be responsible for nominating educators to participate in the Invitational Summer Institute, attending planning meetings, and promoting excellence in the teaching of writing.
Dr. Sewell, assistant professor in VSU's English Department, created the advisory board when she was appointed as the new SGWP director this summer. Sewell replaced outgoing director, Dr. Chere Peguesse, associate professor in English and director of the Writing Center at VSU.
The SGWP is affiliated with the National Writing Project, a grant-funded network of over 189 school/university programs dedicated to ensuring quality writing instruction across disciplines and grade levels.
