WPA-L is an international e-mail discussion list intended primarily for individuals who are involved in writing program administration at universities, colleges, or community colleges. Faculty or students interested in program administration are welcome to join.
Please note that WPA-L is not owned or sponsored by the Council of Writing Program Administrators. Rather, it is a discussion list created (with great foresight) and moderated (with great aplomb) by David Schwalm at Arizona State University-East. More recently, Barry Maid, also at ASU-East, has helped moderate and manage the list.
