Connecticut Student Writers magazine submission deadline

Monday, January 30th, 2023

12:00 AM - 11:59 PM

Storrs Campus
Austin 161

The Connecticut Writing Project (CWP) sponsors Connecticut Student Writers, a magazine established in 1987 by the CWP to honor excellence in writing by students from kindergarten through high school. The highlight of the publication process is the Student Recognition Night, a celebration hosted by the CWP on the UConn campus.

The magazine provides an arena for Connecticut students to present their original work in poetry or prose. The CSW provides validation of authorship from kindergarten through high school, as well as provides an opportunity for some students to present their work before a live audience. Through the CSW pages, Connecticut students recognize the importance of writing in their lives. For some, writing for the CSW offers the stepping stone for further literary endeavors.

Annually, over 1,500 students from across Connecticut submit entries vividly demonstrating their passion for the craft of writing. From this large pool of poetry, essays, stories, and drama, submissions in Poetry and Prose are chosen to be published or honored from each grade level.

Each year, a reading and writing contest known as Letters About Literature is held nation-wide for students in grades 4-12. The contest, previously sponsored by Center for the Book in the Library of Congress, is now hosted by individual states.

Students are asked to read a book, poem, or speech and write a letter to that author (living or dead) about how the text affected them personally. Letters are judged on the state level. Tens of thousands of students from across the country enter Letters About Literature each year.

Teaching in the Age of ChatGPT: A Discussion about Generative AI, Writing, and Pedagogy

Wednesday, February 1st, 2023

Storrs Campus
Homer Babbidge Library Room 1102 and online/WebEx [register for link]

Now that ChatGPT and other natural language generators have quite rapidly entered the mainstream, they’re triggering all manner of questions about teaching, learning, and ethics. Some are urgent—what course policies and practices should I consider implementing this semester?—and some philosophical—how might these technologies disrupt some bedrock assumptions about academic integrity, about teaching and learning, about thinking and language, about the purposes of higher education? Bring your own questions to what we expect to be a lively conversation. Coffee will be served.

Convened by Tom Deans (English; UConn Writing Center), Arash Esmaili Zaghi (Civil and Environmental Engineering), Yohei Igarashi (English; Humanities Institute), and Kyle Booten (English). Organized by the Humanities Institute’s Digital Humanities and Media Studies Initiative, the Writing Center, and the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning.
