The Greater Kansas City Writing Centers’ Project (GKCWCP) invites individuals and groups involved with Writing Center work to the 2025 GKCWCP Conference!
Historically, the GKCWCP Conference attracts tutors, teachers, and administrators from more than 15 area high schools, colleges, and universities for a day of high-quality, interactive professional development and networking. Attendees represent a range of Writing Center experience—from no experience to 20+ years—and the conference program strives to offer a variety of session topics that will provide an intellectually stimulating day not only to those entering the field but also our most senior colleagues. These sessions include interactive workshops, paper presentations, mock tutorials, and a keynote.
The GKCWCP Conference provides training for tutors, while also creating a low-stakes, supportive professional development opportunity. This conference is a fantastic way to expose new tutors to a conference structure and for more experienced tutors to hone their presentation skills.
Who should attend?
High school and college writing center tutors and administrators are encouraged to attend in order to train and network with other people involved with Writing Center work in the metro. Writing instructors and professors are also invited to attend to share their experience with tutors and staff.
