CUPID Studio: Learning from Mistakes
Guest Blogger and Former CUPID Associate Chelsea Vollrath, ’13 When I took CUPID Studio for the first time sophomore year, I was intimidated by the client project, doubting that my limited rhetorical knowledge would allow me to successfully complete the task required of me.

Paige Ransbury on her Public Health Studies advertising materials for ENG 282: CUPID Studio

Christine Meyer on her Elon Writing Center marketing proposal for ENG 282: CUPID Studio
For the CUPID Studio client project, I had the opportunity to work with Elon University’s Writing Center along with Carolyn Koleszar and Lindsey Olsson. Elon University’s Writing Center is a well respected center by other collegiate associates, yet upperclass students often fail to utilize its resources. According to director Dr. Paula Rosinski, the Writing Center incessantly tries to dispel … Continue Reading
