Each semester the Writers Institute sponsors residencies of varying lengths by authors who have distinguished themselves both for their writing and their teaching. Free community writing workshops are regularly offered in tandem with these residencies. Some visiting writers are involved in writing and/or literature courses for academic credit at the University at Albany's Department of English.
