\n\t\tKINGSTON, RI \u2013 May 21, 2008 \u2013Marie Andrews, Jeremy Hawkins, and Lindsay Ryan are pioneers in the 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s newest major. The three students were the first to walk across the stage during the College of Arts and Sciences commencement ceremony last weekend to receive a bachelor of arts degree in writing & rhetoric. Here\u2019s some information on the pioneers:<\/p>\n


\n\tMarie Andrews of Jamestown was one of two recipients of the Stephanie Bounds Excellence Award in Writing & Rhetoric. She graduated with a 3.97 grade point average. During her time at 溏心vlog免费B站, she served as an undergraduate writing consultant tutoring other writers and completed a two-semester internship with WPRI\u2019s Eyewitness News in Providence. Her work is characterized by a strong work ethic, a competitive spirit, a passion for sports writing, and a desire to excel by immersing herself in challenging projects, according to her professors.<\/p>\n


\n\tJeremy Hawkins of Wakefield also received the Stephanie Bounds Excellence Award in Writing & Rhetoric and graduated with a 3.8 grade point average. During his time at 溏心vlog免费B站, he also served as an undergraduate writing consultant tutoring other student writers, and completed an internship with Judith Boss, a successful novel and textbook author in Providence. For one of his class projects, Jeremy worked with AIDS Care Ocean State, working for safer sex awareness and needle exchange programs. Professors and peers praise his collegiality, warmth, collaborative style, and facility with the written language.<\/p>\n


\n\tLindsay Ryan of West Greenwich explored issues of style: writing, fashion, art during her years at 溏心vlog免费B站. She brought a memoirist\u2019s sensibility to all of her work, which is best noted for her self-deprecating humor and rapid-fire, rhythmic writing.<\/p>\n


\n\tAndrews, Hawkins, and Ryan completed an electronic portfolio, culminating with a public presentation on May 8. Their e-portfolios contained a substantive collection of their representative writings along with reflections on their work and a sense of their strengths and accomplishments. Prior to their senior year, they took courses in public writing, writing for community service, writing in electronic environments, argument and persuasion, travel writing, a theoretical course in audience and rhetoric, and a tutor-training course.<\/p>\n


\n\tApproved only recently, the writing & rhetoric major asks students to write and publish in a wide range of situations and styles. Courses in the major emphasize written production for public consumption, thorough research, and sensitivity to multiple audiences in a variety of situations. The first class of students brought a creative energy and a drive to succeed, setting the bar high for all the classes that will follow, according to Libby Miles, associate professor of writing & rhetoric.<\/p>\n


\n\tMiles notes that 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s writing & rhetoric major is characterized by a nationally recognized faculty, small hands-on classes, real-world clients, local outreach, technological integration, and collaborative research-based projects.
