Writing Makes Things Happen

The University of Kentucky Writing Program believes in the power of student voices. We recognize that students come with unique stories and experiences, and we honor their diverse communities. We don't force topics; instead, we encourage the exploration of engaging subjects that matter to students. Our aim is to instill confidence in every writer, dispelling the myth that some simply aren't "good at writing." By emphasizing rhetorical intent, we prepare students to write for various audiences and to contribute meaningfully to their communities, making things happen through their words.
