Final Week

12/10/15 -  Deadline for all Essay & Response paper submissions


Dear Class,

It was a pleasure having you all for class. I hope that you continue to pursue your academic and personal endeavors with all the success and best wishes in mind.  The road starts today for you. Never forget that.  Know that there will be difficult days ahead. You have your academic career ahead of you, but most importantly, you will grow and develop to be individuals with knowledge and experience on your side that will make you resilient and guide you through the most challenging times. I truly hope that you have learned something about yourselves as writers.
