As a defining feature of the Academy curriculum, the West Point Writing Program (WPWP) supports cadets and faculty in every discipline and department as they pursue this goal, in their writings as well as in their reading, listening, speaking, briefing, and critical thinking - all intrinsically related to each other.Above all, by encouraging continuity and cohesion across the Academy's curriculum, the Writing Program ensures that West Point graduates are thoughtful, clear, and effective communicators prepared to answer the various demands of their professional environments and succeed as Army officers. Curriculum The cross-curricular Writing Program develops all cadets as writers and communicators throughout every discipline and department at the Academy. More than forty courses are linked to the WPWP. Cadets begin with courses in general composition and progressively study more diverse, discipline- and profession-specific forms of communication, completing Signature Writing Events (SWEs) in every WPWP-linked course. Faculty teaching courses linked to the WPWP can find resources and up-to-date information in curated Sharepoint archives maintained by WPWP leadership.The Curriculum Stokes Fellows Program The Stokes Fellows Program (established 2012, endowed 2023) brings together cadets, faculty, and postgraduate scholars to research, experiment with, and ultimately contribute to high-level conversations about writing and communication.Cadet Fellows frequently hold key leadership positions in the Corps of Cadets and many go on to compete for prestigious post-graduate fellowships. Stokes Fellows Program Mounger Writing Center Housed in USMA's library from its founding in 2013, the Mounger Writing Center sponsors one-on-one consultations, group workshops, and special events that support work on writing and communication projects for any academic course, personal interest, or professional opportunity.See the cadet FAQ or faculty FAQ for more information about the features of these consultations.
