Process Pieces

All students who submit to the journal are also required to submit a process piece that reflects on how they created and revised their writing. A process piece emphasizes the principle that writing is not merely a record of completed thought, but also an exploratory process that is both individual and performed in community with peers and professors. They embrace the fact that writing is not a straight forward path, but a messy series of expeditions and experiments taken with others who are also on the same journey. Each student may approach the process piece in a different way, but they all celebrate what it took to get here.
