International Writing Centers Association: An NCTE Assembly (IWCA, formerly NWCA)

This assembly fosters communication among writing centers at universities, two-year colleges, public schools, and those interested in writing center theories and applications, and provides a forum for their concerns. IWCA annually presents two scholarship awards to recognize books and articles that make significant contributions to writing centers. Every three years the assembly presents an Outstanding Service Award. In addition to its conference held every 18 months, the assembly sponsors grants to graduate students whose research focuses on writing centers, to researchers for investigations into writing center issues, as well as to its 10 regional organizations to sponsor conferences. The assembly publishes The Writing Center Journal and The Writing Lab Newsletter (subscriptions required), IWCA Update (included with general membership), and books via the IWCA Press.
