Welcome to the
Department of Writing & Rhetoric
The department of Writing & Rhetoric, part of the Harrington School of Communication and Media, is a particularly exciting place to be. The Writing half of our name emphasizes the finer points of process, craft, and delivery, offering multiple opportunities for practice, feedback, and guidance. The Rhetoric half stresses the always situational and often public nature of our work, be it professional, academic, or technical.
