The generous financial support from University and College Advisory Board member, 詹妮弗·辛普森 (CAS 2000), and her Psalm 103 Foundation aims to help the 写作计划 fulfill its mission of supporting students’ development as writers and fostering a deeper culture of writing in departments and programs throughout CAS and other undergraduate schools and colleges. This financial support enables the creation of departmental and programmatic 写作计划 and resources to support faculty development on the teaching of writing; provides 写实习 experiences for advanced social science undergraduates; funds the 辛普森本科生写作奖学金; 并为庆祝波士顿大学的本科生写作做出了贡献。

Jennifer’s support has helped make writing and the teaching of writing across the College more visible and prominent. Our 写作计划 with the Undergraduate Program in 神经科学, the 经济学 department, and the 数学与统计学 department have initiated curricular transformations including the creation of new writing-intensive courses, expanded pedagogical resources for faculty teaching writing, and more focused resources for student writers in the discipline.

In Summer 2024, the 暑期社会科学写作实习计划 (SWIP) had its inaugural cohort of undergraduate students who worked in one of BU’s social science research centers (独联体, 计算流体动力学, or CMC). 实习为本科生提供了澳门威尼斯人注册社会科学澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究和奖学金具体领域的写作和学习的实践经验。 在中心主任和写作澳门威尼斯人注册网站工作坊负责人的支持下，学生实习生撰写澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究人员简介、中心澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究总结、社交媒体帖子、中心工作新闻和报告，并参与中心的学术活动。 在每周的写作研讨会上，学生实习生分享他们的独立写作项目，练习同行评审，并学习社会科学家如何通过不同的写作类型与学术和普通受众交流。 学生从暑期实习的写作项目导致成功的UROP提案，高级荣誉论文，并在BU网点发表。 Read more about this opportunity and the work of our interns 在这里.
