First Year Experience: Writing Matters

Cover and table of contents from the class journal, Writing Matters, produced for the fall 2011 class with instructors Dr. Katherine Schmidt and Dr. Karen Sullivan-Vance. Student submissions were bound together for the Symposium. Assignment: to craft content that matters and to prepare a product that is ready for publication and a public reading. Write to the most important person in your life: describe why they have made such an impact on your life and how you imagine their influence will affect your future; or choose a life-changing event and write to your future self: describe the event, explain why the event has been significant to you, and project how you think the experience should/will influence you in the future
