Purpose and Goals
The purpose of the CWEST project is to integrate sustained cooperation between the Writing Lab and greater Lafayette as an integral part of the OWL’s mission to foster literacy. Our major goals are as follows:
Integrate local civic engagement as part of the OWL’s mission
Investigate local civic engagement, public discourse, and English studies
Communicate with LARA/WorkOne to understand their needs and work collaboratively to address those needs, as well as measure outcomes using empirical methods
Develop resources that will benefit local literacy as well as the OWL’s global audience.
