The Writing Institute's Advisory Board brings together faculty and administrators from across the University of Pittsburgh whose work intersects with writing in meaningful ways. Members represent a wide range of schools and disciplines—from engineering and mathematics to social work, economics, urban studies, and the health sciences—reflecting the Institute's commitment to writing as a university-wide concern rather than the province of any single department. Their counsel helps shape the Institute's direction, and their presence deepens our connections across campus. We are grateful for their partnership.
