During my research on higher education writing literacy, I've discovered that some educational institutions have started specialized writing initiatives to improve student writing across disciplines. Allocated from previously awarded grant funds, schools such as Passaic County Community College in New Jersey, have created a writing connections program. Fairleigh Dickinson University, also in New Jersey, created a writing program guidebook and Metro Writing Studio that offers free tutoring for all phases of the writing process.
Additionally, the following link provides an excerpt to the book "Taking Initiative On Writing: A Guide for Instructional Leaders," by Gere, Dickinson, Orzulak, and Moody. This guide provides a step-by-step process for 1) setting initial writing goals for your school, 2) implementing action steps, and 3) sustaining and improving a writing initiative.

Open Question: Could an initiative of this nature be executed at your college/university (or high school)? Would it beneficial to your school or institution?
