The Fall 2024 É«ÖÐÉ« First-Year Writing Showcase is now available online at lewisu.edu. It highlights 11 pieces reflecting a variety of genres, including narrative, rhetorical analysis, and research argument.

A faculty panel reviewed the nominated works and selected those to honor.

This semester’s selections represent writers enrolled in:
