Spring WRD Writing Gallery

 

The Spring WRD Writing Gallery is a showcase of student writing at the University of Kentucky. This installation features texts created in Writing, Rhetoric, and Digital Media courses during the past year. These texts include multimedia documentaries, photoessays, podcasts, websites, and other types of writing that students often create in their WRD classes. By putting these texts on display, we are celebrating the ways that students are engaging with the written word--and the written world--here at UK.

This year, "Text/Messages: The Spring 2013 WRD Writing Gallery" is on display in the Hub (basement) of the Young Library. Please feel free to browse the installation at your leisure.
