Great things are happening within the First-Year Writing Program!

First-year Writing Classes Get Creative The First-year Writing Program is changing things up by offering service-learning and research experiences. Honors College students explore and write about Lowell, while other students can choose their own level in College Writing, including the intensive “studio” option.
