About

Rewrite/Rebuild gets students to publish– to get work out of the classroom and to an authentic audience. The University Writing Program Department uses its courses to connect writing prompts to “real-world” writing tasks, from persuasive proposals to creative critique and analysis. With faculty mentorship, undergraduates develop interdisciplinary projects for civic, professional, and creative spaces. 

This work culminates in a Spring symposium, where students showcase the work they have published throughout the year. This is also a space for publishing, where students with creative works can exhibit and perform them for a live audience. Students not only present at the event, but also organize it; they coordinate panels, photograph the event, organize tabling partners, and design the logo and aesthetics used for marketing and outreach. By participating, undergraduates produce quality work that contributes to the campus and allows students to practice critical professionalization skills.

In rewriting past ideas, students can rebuild their present and progress towards their future goals.
