Writing Across the Disciplines is aimed at improving the world through writing . We work with students, faculty, administrators, business professionals, and members of the general public.

We serve Florida International University, the Dade County Public School System, and a wide range of local and national educators and educational institutions.

Every February, we host a National Writing Across the Disciplines Conference to encourage students, faculty, administrators, editors, publishers, professionals, and members of the community to get together to exchange views so that we can continuously improve teaching and learning.

Many Writing Across the Disciplines Conference participants have requested that we focus the 2002 discussion around the ways that "space, time, and opportunity" (Andrea Lunsford's phrase) continue to change who we are and what we do as teachers and learners. What new and creative notions of "space, time, and opportunity" will we create as the boundaries of teaching, learning, and writing expand? We continue to envision the annual Writing Across the Disciplines Conference as an opportunity for students, faculty, administrators, writers, editors, publishers, professionals, and members of the community to get together to exchange views so that we can constantly improve teaching and learning. This coming year, besides the traditional breakfast, lunch, wine and cheese, town meeting, book fair, and entertainment, we plan two keynote speakers and a series of interactive panel discussions.
