The writing program administrator (WPA) at a small, Catholic liberal arts college has many roles in fulfilling her job responsibilities and upholding institutional values, which include collaboration, dialogue, and application of knowledge to benefit others and the environment. Some of these roles include: teaching four courses, engaging in committee work, curriculum planning, participating in service learning and community outreach, developing a writing resources Web site, and advising students and student organizations. Even while on sabbatical, the WPA acts as a consultant for the college. The WPA participates collaboratively in designing various workshops for faculty development and exchange of ideas, and she also participates in the field. Finally, the WPA utilizes the institution's mission statement and policy in administering the writing program and in being part of a dialogue for change. (Contains 10 references.
