For several years on or around October 20, ����app�ٷ���վ�� students, faculty and staff have recognized the a national celebration of “writing—and the many places, reasons and ways we write each day—as an essential component of literacy” (NCTE, “Why I Write”).

This year the Center for Writing Excellence, as in previous years, sponsored campus-wide events. This year’s events were coordinated by Writing Center Lead Consultant Ava Crawford ’24. Hosts included The Writing Center in the Center for Writing Excellence, the Curriculum Resources Center in the School of Education, Powell House,  Live Oak Communications, and The School of Law.

The Writing Center event, “Writing isn’t Scary,” was a combined event for current students and visiting alumni during Homecoming. The School of Law event, “High Rhymes and Misdemeanors.” was judged by Greensboro’s Poet Laureate Josephus Thompson III. More details about the School of Law event are in this Today @ Elon article.

Students attending the events were entered into a drawing to win one of several gift cards. Congratulations to all the winners who joined us on the National Day on Writing to celebrate the power of words!
