GMU's PhD in Writing and Rhetoric will be well-represented at the nation's largest conference for writing studies scholars - the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC). This year the conference is in Kansas City, MO, and runs from March 14-17. The conference of the Association of Teachers of Technical Writing is held right before CCCC, and runs March 13-14. Both conferences have acceptance rates around 30% -- so having strong representation at each speaks highly of the program.
