See our full episode notes at https://www.centerforengagedlearning.org/lifewide-writing-in-college/.In a 2021 survey of recent U.S. college graduates, conducted by the Elon Poll and the Center for Engaged Learning, 94% of participants indicated that writing was somewhat or very important to their day-to-day lives, but only 80% had developed effective writing skills during college. College students and the people who support them need to attend to the writing students are doing in college and how those writing experiences prepare them for lifelong and lifewide writing. We visit with our guests - Professors Alexis Hart from Allegheny College, Ashley Holmes from Georgia State University, Íde O’Sullivan from the University of Limerick in Ireland, Yogesh Sinha from Ohio University, and Kathleen Yancey from Florida State University - about how students make connections among their spheres of writing as they write for college courses, co-curricular activities, internships, work, civic or community activities, and self-motivated purposes.This episode is co-hosted by Jessie L. Moore, Director of Elon University’s Center for Engaged Learning, and Nolan Schultheis, a first-year student at Elon University, studying Psychology with an interest in law. Making College “Worth It” is produced by Elon University’s Center for Engaged Learning.
