From the Sweetland Website: The academic Minor in Writing is designed for any undergraduate student who is interested in developing and exploring his or her writing abilities with the guidance of seasoned writing professors. Students in the Minor experiment with writing in numerous ways, including (but definitely not limited to!) multi-modal projects, traditional papers, professional writing, and creative work. They can make use of what they have learned in their major and other courses within their writing projects for the minor, as well as explore new ways of writing that they might not otherwise encounter.

I chose to partcipate in the minor after increasing frustration with the endless amount of traditional academic papers in both my major and gen ed classes. It sounded familiar to a program I was a part of my year called the Lloyd Hall Scholars Program, with both organizations making creative projects a part of the curriculm. As someone who hopes to make money off his writing, or at the least work in the enterntainment industry, the writing Minor offered me creative outlets that I could display to future employers.
