General Studies Writing Program

FULL-TIME TEACHING STAFF: Ann Westrick

Ann Westrick Both as a professional and as a human being, I have always wanted to affect people in a profound way; I have always wanted to make a difference. While freshman writing is too frequently seen as a class students are “forced to take” to “meet a requirement,” when approached with enthusiasm and humanity, not only can students be taught how to write powerfully and purposefully, but they can also be encouraged to question their perceptions of themselves and of the world. With this philosophy in mind, I embrace the teaching of first-year writing.
