Diversity Center Alumni Profiles
These profiles emerge from a course called Writing for Public and Professional Contexts offered during January term 2022. The particular assignment asked students to develop skills related to interviewing, profile writing, and institutional branding, in the creation of alumni profiles for our project client, the PLU Diversity Center. Once the interviews were collected and transcribed, the students set about writing their stories, which underwent three rounds of rigorous peer review and revision prior to publication. We're very proud of this work and so grateful to play a small role in honoring the 20th anniversary of the Diversity Center!
