Course description listed below:

Why do we write? Answer this question for yourself and explore the many reasons that others engage with writing in this course. We will look at writing and ourselves as writers through various lenses, writing both for ourselves and for different kinds of audiences. This class will delve into creative writing genres such as poetry and personal narrative, but will also allow writers to engage with writing projects for other purposes, such as those that might suit future career paths. Guest speakers who use writing in their work will help us to understand how those of us who love writing can find meaningful careers and continue to use our passions and skills every day. Other areas this class may explore include: journalism, technical writing, digital content creation and blogging, academic writing, etc. From creating compelling articles, writing for websites, and contributing to scholarly research, this class will help you see how writing can serve as a powerful tool in any career, allowing you to communicate ideas, inform others, and shape public discourse.
