Why Write?

arrows pointing in a circleWriting (and writing well) prepares you for your career. In virtually every job, you will write multiple emails every day. Properly informing yourself about topics and current events will help you communicate with others and learning how to adequately summarize information will help you communicate well with co-workers, supervisors, and clients. Writing well can be broken down into a few simple steps that take you through a process of properly thinking about what you will write about, conveying your initial ideas, polishing and correcting mistakes, and finishing your paper.
