Annual Speaker Series

Each year the Rhetoric and Composition program hosts one or two visiting scholars, who come to campus to interact with the faculty and graduate students in both formal and informal settings, lead a workshop, participate in an interview with graduate students, and give an open public lecture on some of their recent scholarly activity. This event affords graduate students and faculty an opportunity to network with leading scholars in the field. In addition to inviting visiting scholars, our own Rhetoric and Composition faculty will often present from their work following a sabbatical or research leave in order to share their newest scholarship with the local community.

Program Newsletters

For about 12 years, we published a Program Newsletter. We retired the newsletter, now having access to more dynamic avenues for sharing information, including the department’s social media accounts.
