A select few entries will be featured in a nationally published book, A Day in the Life of a Writing Center.
Thousands of schools across the country are creating similar events and building online galleries to show student and faculty writing. The Writing Center will be highlighting OU student and faculty writing through an online writing gallery.
In addition, OU has been selected as one of only four schools nationally to collect texts for a book on writing activity in the university. Michele Eodice, Executive Director of Learning, Teaching, and Writing said the writing center here at OU was invited by Patrick Sullivan and Howard Tinberg, editors of What is College Level Writing, to contribute writing from OU to their next book, A Day in the Life of a Writing Center. OU is the only four-year public university to be included in this new collection.
