Community Partners Guided Writing Intern

Students in this course work with the professor and your peers to fulfill a writing project with a local business, government office, nonprofit, or charitable organization. For this course and its internships, local partners have already worked with faculty to determine meaningful writing projects that further the mission of the partner, although students may cultivate their own partners and projects with faculty permission. Class time covers practical writing strategies, theories of community partnership and community organization, and peer review of each other's writing project drafts. Students will produce a portfolio that they can share when pursuing future work positions; reflect on their interests and future professional goals; practice transferring classroom skills toward professional aims; benefit from a structured framework that helps them develop problem-solving skills, interpersonal communication, professional collegiality, and self-confidence in a professional environment; and work alongside supervisors who are passionate about their work and dedicated to your professional development. Prerequisites: FYSE-100 or an equivalent course; and either ENGL-289 or ENGL-299 and permission of the instructor. 4 SH. CC: Writing Intensive.
