The Program in Writing is dedicated to guiding students to a cohesive, comprensive understanding of writing as a scholarly endeavor and an academic process, as well as helping students to develop an individual voice and a sense of personal confidence regarding their writing. One of the best possible ways to exercise all four of these is to write, of course, and the following publications proudly give students the opportunity to read their peers' writing and to publish their own.
