In the heart of our campus, a dynamic partnership has been brewing between students and faculty, and it’s all centered around the Writing Center Newsletter. It started with a simple idea from one of our graduating students, in the form of an internship opportunity at the Writing Center, to now, a very good prospective future in journalism. As we embarked on this journey, we rediscovered a passion for storytelling and journalism. That’s where Director John stepped in. Recognizing what could be, John was open to the idea of a collaboration to further improve the Writing Center Newsletter.
Last month, we dipped our toes into the world of newsletter creation with a simple email. We shared updates on Writing Center events and sprinkled in some campus news. It was a start, but we knew we could do more. So, fueled by our shared passion and a desire to connect our campus community, we set out to do something bigger. This month, we’re thrilled to present our revamped newsletter in the form of a colorful booklet. But this isn’t just any booklet – it’s a testament to the power of our collaboration. Together, we scoured the campus for stories and events to include. From Writing Center workshops to CASL events, we’ve compiled a comprehensive guide to all the exciting happenings on campus. Below is a little sneak of what is to come:
But beyond the content, this newsletter represents something deeper – it’s a symbol of the unity and camaraderie between the Writing center Staff and Campus. Our combined efforts have not only produced a beautiful publication but we also hope to have fostered a sense of belonging and community on campus.
So, as you flip through the pages of the Writing Center Newsletter, remember that it’s more than just words on paper. It’s a celebration of creativity, and the incredible things that happen when people come together with a shared vision. Join us on this journey as we continue to break boundaries and make our mark on campus, one story at a time.
As we look back on our journey, we are filled with pride for what we have accomplished together. Yet, this is just the beginning.
