Learning to write a persuasive analytical argument is hard work. It’s also the kind of exciting conceptual work that lies at the heart of a liberal arts education. The Writing Program is here to help as you cultivate your curiosity, scrutinize complex evidence, ask difficult questions, engage multiple perspectives, and develop nuanced, original claims of your own. The most interesting discoveries come to light through a recursive process of feedback and radical revision. That's why our motto is "Every Writer Needs a Reader!"
