Gardens and Grants

Planning for the Future

The Rhetoric of Activism
A few months ago I got lost in the annals of the interwebs and stumbled across the Times Haiku. I don’t think I’ve ever followed a blog faster. The haikus (found using an algorithm that scans New York Times articles) swing from the whimsical to the profound, and they have a tendency to stick in my mind long after I’ve … Continue Reading

I … Continue Reading

Collaboration Tips
Sometimes, writing collaboratively can pose problems and create more of an added difficulty than an advantage. Throughout this semester I have been writing a journal article with Mia Brady, Paige Ransbury and RPR. The focus is on student motivations in service-learning courses. The three of us were in the Grant Writing course last semester taught by RPR. In the article, … Continue Reading

It can involve anything from ordering a coffee or posting a Facebook status to collaborating on a team or writing a proposal. In the professional world, writing is a skill everyone should strive to master. As … Continue Reading
