How to Be a Good Conference Presentation Attendee
Rachel Fishman – ENG-PWR ’15 After attending the Association for Business Communication conference in Philadelphia last week, I learned a bit more about the ins-and-outs of conference etiquette, especially in attending presentations.

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.

Twitter: Power to the Platform
Guest post by Rachel Lewis, ENG-PWR & Creative Writing ’15 As a student of Professional Writing and Rhetoric, something that has constantly stood out to me is the role of ethics in rhetoric.

Rhetoric in Media: Examining Ferguson
Sarah Paterson, ENG-PWR ’15 Rhetoric is a pretty nifty media buzzword. Anytime someone – a politician, a news anchor, a football coach – says something polarizing, their statement can be written off as “just rhetoric.” This does a few things: it makes it hard for any student of rhetoric to explain their research to family at the holidays, and it … Continue Reading
