Core Director/English Professor's Work Utilized Nationally
The National Council of Teachers of English recently named "Writing Across the Curriculum in the New Millenium", co-edited by Dr. Margot Soven, Director of the Core Curriculum and English faculty member, a best seller in 2004.

In addition to co-editing the publication, Dr. Soven is also an author of some of the content in the book. Below you will find a testimonial from one of Dr. Soven's peers at the University of Iowa:

"I just wanted to tell you how helpful your article “Curriculum-Based Peer Tutors and WAC” has been to me. We just completed our first year of a Writing Fellows program we started here at the U. of Iowa. We had our first 15 Fellows read your article the first week of their course to introduce them to the two controversies of the place of the peer tutor and generalist vs. specialist. I really enjoyed re-reading the article yesterday; it was especially meaningful 10 months later in light of our 2 semesters worth of experience. Thanks for sharing your wisdom and experience in print."
