Professionalism: Six Ways to Impress
Lauren Phillips – ENG-PWR & Creative Writing ’16 Merriam-Webster defines professionalism as “the skill, good judgment, and polite behavior that is expected from a person who is trained to do a job well.” My favorite part of this definition is that it says proper behavior is expected from a trained worker—the two don’t necessarily always go together.

Using Visual Rhetoric to Look Fierce

Technology continues to bring the world closer and closer together, alongside a growth in social demand for recognition of individuality/uniqueness.
