Warren College Writing Program

In the Warren Writing Program, learning is a way of striving toward balance, not perfection. We see writing as a way of thinking deeply. Writing is a process of asking big questions about the world and making discoveries that go beyond simple answers and narrow perspectives. Because we want writing to be meaningful to all students, our assignments challenge them to balance personal interests with academic research, exploring the stakes of writing and other forms of communication on people and communities. We promote writing as a process that involves active listening, self-reflection, feedback and revision. Our small, workshop-style seminars encourage open discussion and shared learning. Our goal is to prepare students to become adaptable, engaged citizens who can contribute to their communities for the better.
