Libraries Faculty Receive Center for Transformative Teaching Seeding Student Success Award


Catherine Fraser Riehle, Erica DeFrain, and Debbie Minter from University Libraries and English received an inaugural Seeding Student Success funding award from the Center for Transformative Teaching (CTT) for their project — “Writing Information Literacy: A Collaborative Effort to Support Intentional Integration of Information Literacy at the Foundation.”

In this year-long project, Riehle, DeFrain, and Janel Simons from the Libraries are collaborating with English Professor and First-Year Writing Program coordinator Debbie Minter and Writing Center Director Rachel Azima on a project to integrate information literacy into foundational writing courses. Funds will be used to support an inquiry group of 11 Writing Information Literacy Fellows who will develop instructional resources that they will pilot in multiple sections of composition courses in fall 2020. They will conduct a research project in the fall to assess the pilot.
