Dr. Vartabedian welcomes guests |
On Wednesday, April 10, 2013, Dawn Terrick, Director
of Developmental Writing, hosted 85 people at the annual reception for the ENG
100 student publication Discovering the
Student, Discovering the Self. Dr.
Vartabedian kicked off the reception. Then students received certificates and awards and read their original
work. Students were joined by their
family and friends as well as MWSU faculty, staff and administration and all
enjoyed an afternoon of celebration.

This is the seventh edition of Discovering the Student, Discovering the Self. The essays that appear in this publication
were selected by the English 100 Committee from submissions from English 100
students from the Spring and Fall 2012 semester. These student essays reflect the struggle and
the joy, the hard work and the rewards that these students have experienced
both in their lives and in the classroom.
Furthermore, these essays reflect the diversity of our English 100
students and the uniqueness of this course.
Our students are entering college straight out of high school and are
returning to the classroom after years of work and family, come from urban and
rural areas, and represent different races and cultures. And this work is truly their work -- the
committee has not made any revisions or corrections to the essays.
We invite you to read these essays on our
website and hope that you will discover the same things that the students have
discovered: during their first semester
in college they are discovering themselves, realizing that they are part of
many communities and defining themselves as individuals, students, scholars and
citizens.
