The Writing Center and Messina are co-sponsoring a panel discussion between students and faculty to explore how academic writing at Loyola values or minimizes students' voices and identities.

Last year, students voiced concerns about a disconnect between hearing their identities and voices mattered and feeling it was not always welcomed in writing assignments across campus. This panel discussion will aim to better understand how academic writing at Loyola can serve students and honor their diversity as people. It is meant to be a safe space for students to talk to one another and share experiences with engaged faculty members who are listening and responsive to student concerns.

Faculty Panelists are Dr. Whitehead (Karson Institute/Communications); Dr. Roughani (Physics/Assoc. Dean for Sciences) and Prof Southworth (Curriculum Committee/Writing Center). Student panelists are: Taylor Moyer and Smarlyn Ovalles. The event is Wednesday March 15, 6-7pm in the 4th Floor Program Room.
