The final set of selected submissions from the 2024-2025 Writing Showcase will focus on personal stories and research. Coming from a blend of courses (099, 1001, and 2089) these writers capture the attention of readers through their use of vivid descriptions, the integration of data into storytelling, and use of interesting genres. A few of the submissions take the form of newspaper articles, while the others reflect more academic structures. Together, they represent the multiple forms that storytelling can take in composition courses and beyond. Read works from:

Emellia Pavlac, Health Information Systems major, Freshman
Evie McDonough, Art History major, Freshman
Kay Jimenez, Public Health major, Sophomore
Tessa Hodge, Pre-Business Administration major, Sophomore

Check them out and the details on how to submit for this year's Writing showcase at our link in bio linktr.ee/uc_english!
