Crossposting late, but yesterday was meet-a-MTMC-coach Monday on our Instagram page, wherein we featured Tucker Nielsen, a 4th year English major and writer/copyeditor for the Lode. Hometown: Howard City, MI
Q: Why is good writing important?
A: “Writing is a route for communication. It's necessary to continue spreading ideas and knowledge to others. It also holds power in declaration of laws and acts of war. Writing is also a delicate craft that, when done correctly, moves someone as much as a painting or music. Writing is the essence of humanity."

Name: Brooke Snow (MTU ‘16, Civil Engineering)
Current Position: Civil Engineer 1, City of Elgin, IL
Q: Why is good writing important?
A: “I didn’t realize how much writing I would have to do in my profession until my boss dumped my first big project on my desk. A majority of my writing is for memos to the city’s council members explaining why we need this project. If I didn’t have the good writing skills I needed, I would never be able to paint the picture in non engineering terms for these people. It’s really easy to sit there and explain it in conversation, but when you have to condense it to a half a page to get your point across, it becomes quite difficult.”
