John is a teacher whom I\u2019ve always admired and his enthusiasm for his students\u2019 work piqued my curiosity, as did the photo thumbnail of the cover.

The experience of working with students in the WCUT program was invigorating, in part because I otherwise was teaching undergraduate literature courses, very few of which required students to conduct independent research. Although I was theoretically aware of the astonishing variety and the high quality of undergraduate research being conducted across campus, I had little direct access to it when I was working primarily in the literature classroom. Mentoring tutors majoring in Psychology, History, Musical Theater, and Philosophy, among others, put me in contact and dialogue with students who were working not only on their Writing Center research, but their Junior and Senior thesis projects, Capstone papers, and more. My primarily theoretical understanding of student writing across the disciplines is one that I think many faculty members share here on campus and, I would imagine, at many other universities; outside of the writing classroom and the writing center, unless you teach in highly collaborative and interdisciplinary programs, it can be difficult to come into regular contact with student research outside of your home department. This is one of the many gifts of writing center work: teaching and tutoring in a writing center provides you with greater exposure to the writing culture at large. It is something that our undergraduate tutors and graduate instructors benefit from, and that my colleague Kevin Rulo (Director of the Writing Center) have worked hard to convey to faculty across campus. If only there were a way to make student writing and research more visible, to both students and faculty\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>Reading through <em>WRIT Large<\/em>, I thought, \u201cWhy don\u2019t we have something like this at Catholic?\u201d The idea of a student publication showcasing student writing was extremely inspiring. I spent a few weeks doing some research into undergraduate writing magazines and research journals and ended up submitting a proposal for a multi-disciplinary undergraduate research journal in the humanities. <a href=\"http:\/\/inventio.cua.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Inventio: The Undergraduate Research Journal of The Catholic University of America<\/em><\/a> is currently in its fourth year and, in my mind, it is another creative example of how writing centers can not only shape a university\u2019s writing culture, but provide active leadership in its evolution and transformation.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Applying Writing Center Knowledge and Experience to a Student Publication<\/h2>\n<p>Obviously, <em>Inventio<\/em> exists because of institutional enthusiasm and support for its work, but it is also true that it materialized because of the relationships built through work in the writing center and, on a more fundamental level, as a result of my awareness of the gaps and the opportunities that exist in the university\u2019s support for student writers. Time spent establishing working relationships with departments and programs across campus during my tenure as WC Director and then as I sought to recruit students for the WCUT Program made it clear to me that there were many stakeholders who would support such a publication. In terms of procuring content, working with the History Department, for example, to support their Junior and Senior seminars through the writing center exposed me to how well-trained their students are in conducting research, as well as the emphasis their faculty place on mastering the generic conventions of writing in their discipline. I also heard from WCUT fellows each year that one of the most rewarding things about working in the writing center was that it actually gave them the chance to read work from students outside of their major and that it was inspiring for them to see what other students were writing. However, not everyone can work in the writing center (though wouldn\u2019t it be wonderful if they did?), and so student publications can be a great way to bring an experience of diverse student writing to readers and writers outside of the center.<\/p>\n<p>Logistically and organizationally, Inventio has greatly benefitted from the example of the Writing Center. The training for the Student Editorial Board is modeled after the training that Writing Center Undergraduate Tutors receive. WC tutors enroll in ENG 328: \u201cWriting Center Theory &amp; Practice\u201d; UGS\/HSLS 328: \u201cUndergraduate Research Journal Production\u201d is a three-credit course that explores the field of academic publishing and devotes time to the practical work of assembling and promoting the journal. The experience of designing and teaching a course like ENG 328 challenged me to think beyond the literature courses that I generally teach in order to find ways to create a practicum that would best serve our tutors. The same non-traditional approach to the academic classroom serves the members of the student editorial board as they explore, though hands-on experience, careers in academic publishing, editing, and graphic design. I have also found that working with tutors has been great practical preparation for working with a student editorial board, in that such work for the journal requires a balance of mentorship, leadership, and collaboration. As a faculty editor, my primary responsibility is to guide, rather than to direct. Learning to support undergraduate students in their roles as WC tutors has helped me to better understand how to empower students to do independent work and challenge themselves.<\/p>\n<h2>Collaboratively Shaping the Writing Culture on Campus<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9691\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9691\" style=\"width: 214px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9691 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/dept.writing.wisc.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Peter-Varga-214x300.jpg\" alt=\"Peter Varga smiles in front of a large white domed building. \" width=\"214\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dept.writing.wisc.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Peter-Varga-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/dept.writing.wisc.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Peter-Varga-768x1075.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dept.writing.wisc.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Peter-Varga-731x1024.jpg 731w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 214px) 100vw, 214px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9691\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Peter Varga (Psychology \u201919), Inventio 2018-19 Co-Head Copyeditor and Citations Editor, returning tutor in the University Writing Center.

Journal contributors are encouraged to visit the writing center as they work on revising their manuscripts or learn to convert their citations to meet journal guidelines. Members of the student editorial board are introduced to the Director of the Writing Center when he visits the course as a guest who can provide valuable insight to the logic of <em>The Chicago Manual of Style<\/em> and how to provide productive editorial feedback on submissions. And although there is no formal organizational tie between the WC and Inventio, there is fruitful cross-pollination of staff due to the fact that individuals with a strong interest in student writing are drawn to both the center and the journal. As WC tutor and <em>Inventio<\/em> Co-Head Copyeditor Rachel de Rosset (English \u201919) notes, \u201cI would say is that both are interested in good writing\u2014in and of itself\u2014in addition to improving writing. I think that, in different ways, both the journal and the Writing Center are encouraging to students and help student writers to develop confidence.\u201d The inaugural Editor-in-Chief and Managing Editor of <em>Inventio<\/em> were both WC tutors and this year, the returning Editor-in-Chief Danielle \u201cElle\u201d Schirripa (Philosophy \u201919) is beginning her first semester in the WC. Each year, there is also significant overlap between <em>Inventio<\/em>\u2019s copyediting staff and the roster of WC tutors, as each context allows students to exercise different writing muscles. Students have also capitalized on this relationship and have taken the lead in developing new initiatives that benefit both the WC and the journal. This semester, our Co-Head Copyeditors, Peter Varga (Psychology \u201919) and Rachel de Rosset (English \u201919), who both joined Inventio as WC tutors, are spearheading a project in collaboration with the WC to develop and produce a series of online videos instructing journal contributors in Chicago Style citation methods.<\/p>\n<p>At this early point in Inventio\u2019s history (we are currently preparing to put together our fourth volume in Spring 2019), we are still finding new ways that the journal can make meaningful contributions to the writing culture here at Catholic University. It is evident, however, that by working closely with the Writing Center, we can have a wide impact. For Elle, who was initially connected to the WC through her work with <em>Inventio<\/em>, her experience with both has been illuminating: \u201cI think both the WC and <em>Inventio<\/em> make writing approachable. The WC helps to do this by providing help and support to students in their writing. <em>Inventio<\/em>, I think, makes writing approachable in a much stronger way because the publication exists to showcase the work of undergraduates. This not only makes writing more approachable; it makes writing more attractive\u2026.Students see peers as published authors and hopefully can see themselves in that role too.\u201d In sharing the \u201cstory\u201d of <em>Inventio<\/em>, I am eager to hear and learn from others who have worked with student publications. What initiatives have been successful on your campus that link student publications (formal or informal) and the Writing Center? What is the nature of the relationship between your Writing Center and student publications at your institution&#8211;how do formal and informal relationships benefit each? How has working with a student publication informed your practice in the Writing Center and vice versa?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9692\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9692\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9692 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/dept.writing.wisc.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Inventio-Staff-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"The 2017-18 Inventio Student Editorial Board pose together in front of a large stone building with an ornate light blue and yellow domed roof. \" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dept.writing.wisc.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Inventio-Staff-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dept.writing.wisc.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Inventio-Staff-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dept.writing.wisc.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Inventio-Staff-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dept.writing.wisc.edu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Inventio-Staff-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9692\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The 2017-18 Inventio Student Editorial Board.
