Rider University Writing Project Summer Institute

At the Rider University Writing Project (RWP), we understand educators rarely get the opportunity to explore their own journey as writers. As teachers, we ask our students to participate in writing communities nearly every day. But how often do we get the opportunity to participate in this same writing community culture? During our three-week (12 days) summer institute, you will connect with other educators as you push yourself and sharpen your writing skills. Whether your ultimate goal is publication or the simple joy of putting pen to paper, all writers will find purpose and meaning in the process of community participation.

Our Summer Institute is open to educators from pre-k through college (any content area) and costs $900. Applications are now being accepted through June 30, 2023. Participants may elect to earn 1-3 graduate credits. If interested in this option, contact the site director.
