University Writing Committee

From the Chair:  Good writing has the power to help us understand different viewpoints and experiences far removed from ourselves.  As technology continues to change the world, more of our learning and interactions take the form of writing.  Writing in academic settings fosters learning for students, learning about the process as well as the product.
