CWRL Organization

The CWRL is situated in the Division of Rhetoric and Composition as an independent unit. It is a large complex organization, involving faculty, staff, graduate student instructors, lab staffers, and undergraduate assistants, who are involved, typically, in multiple roles and social structures. Basically, the administration of the Lab is organized around a director, a program coordinator, a system analyst, three assistant directors, a steering committee, and cohort groups of instructors who are also staffing in the lab. A high level of interaction, both formal and informal, is supported through email lists, web message forums, regular meetings, lab hours, and informal conversations. The organization is generously funded primarily through student fees, allowing the lab to concentrate on its primary mission of improving undergraduate teaching and learning with technology.
