A course for students who are passionate about writing and community service and would like to explore the dynamic relationship between these two pursuits. As a team, we head off campus each week to mentor under-served high school students in essay writing. Back on campus, we have weekly meetings to help us enhance our writing and mentoring skills as we develop our own ideas into essays. We study writers, artists, and filmmakers whose service and/ or community engagement has become a basis for work that documents and reflects on pressing social concerns.

Introduces students to writing, researching, and presenting in each student's own chosen discipline. Students practice observing, analyzing, and assessing the broad structure and elements of academic research writing and presentations in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences; they then analyze writing and speaking practices in their own chosen major or minor. Elements studied include audience, visual design, structural elements, rhetorical patterns, logic, and evidence in communicating with scholarly audiences. Students then design and present their own critical thinking and research in oral presentations and written research.
