The ideal WIN candidate will be a faculty member who has a specific writing goal (e.g., will be going up for tenure and/or promotion in the next year, grant proposal, article, book), and would benefit from community support and skill-building. Varied research areas and methods of inquiry are encouraged. Participants will be nominated by deans.
