About Us

In order to create a supportive environment for English majors, the staff advisor and faculty members in the Department of English are committed to providing our students with exceptional academic advising on a regular basis to help them achieve success, prepare for a career, make optimal use of faculty and departmental resources, and get the most out of their experience at UConn. We believe that the classroom experience of English majors is greatly enhanced by one-on-one meetings with faculty advisors. To this end, all faculty advisors meet with their advisees each semester to review students’ plans of study and discuss students’ course selections for the ensuing semester.

    ECE English Summer Institute
    UConn’s First-Year Writing Program is putting more attention on multimodal composition as an essential part of the FYW experience, and this year’s ECE English Summer Institute is designed to help ECE instructors respond to this challenge. The three-day seminar and workshop will feature current scholarship and practices in multimodal composition and provide a supportive, collaborative environment for experiments with classroom applications of this work. Each day will have a new focus (e.g., “Using Sound in Composition Courses”), and we will also examine the UConn-specific goals for multimodal composition in FYW along the way.
