The overarching purpose of the Kean University Writing Project is to deepen the writing craft for current writers, and to support teachers in the teaching of writing. To that end, our KUWP Summer Writing Retreat will provide participants with the opportunity to examine challenges and issues through interactive learning, inquiry, reflection, and community. Through writing, talking, sharing, …and writing some more, we work to transform the toughest challenges from our writing lives into our best practices.
