FSC Hosting SUNY Council on Writing Conference
May 14, 2018
SUNY has announced a call for proposals for
October’s SUNY Council on Writing 
Conference. Theme of the conference is “Why Writing Matters: Articulating the Value of Writing to Students, Administrators, and Faculty from Across
the Disciplines.”
The conference is being hosted by Farmingdale State College, Friday and Saturday, 10/19 and 10/20.
The conference will explore the value of writing from multiple angles — its cognitive benefits, social impact, economic rewards, and political power. While the value of STEAM programs cannot be denied, writing drives our society in such profound and essential ways that it is prone to being taken for granted by our institutions. It’s as crucial as ever for professional writers, writing instructors, and writing students to make clear what it is that we do and why our roles in society are of vital importance.
Submissions that demystify the act of writing and explore innovative ways to reach across disciplinary aisles in our current professional climate are encouraged. Submissions deadline is Friday, 6/15.
For more information, email Dr. Katelynn DeLuca or Dr. Noel Brathwaite.
