The vision
Vision for my students |
To become analytical writers, effective communicators and critical thinkers, and have the ability to use these skills as an alternative means to express themselves to a variety of audiences and for various purposes, in and outside the academic setting. They will inherently feel that they are well-rounded individuals and understand why writing, communicating and critical thinking are essential tools for their future success. They will be excited and passionate about expressing their ideas, opinions, and thoughts through writing.
