Students arrive from all over.
It's a Celebration!
Over 250 students jam the Student Center
It takes two ballrooms . . .
for all the booths . . .
and tables . . .
to be set up . . .
so all can browse . . .
each other's writing efforts for the semester . . .
and jam in to look
There are even snacks!
Entire families come. Children love it!
From the youngest
to the oldest.
Even lions
and eagles are there.
Students display their ethnographic projects with pride.
From farms . . .
to fast food.
From music . . .
to missions.
Colorful and artistic!
Posters are everywhere!
Smiles abound
as students show off
their semester's work
to those browsing
and explain it
with animation
and excitement!
Exhibits involve topics from international themes,
to emergency services,
to local churches,
to Sunday schools,
to local eateries,
such as the Bakery,
and the cafeteria.
From the beauty salon
to computer technology,
and from the zoo
to the frat house.
Meanwhile instructors are on hand to help
give last minute tips,
advice,
and encouragement.
United in their efforts
to promote writing.
Some students give more active demonstrations. . .
From shooting
to shooting.
From Taekwando
to Hookah Pipes.
From sacking
to selling.
From bows
to bows.
There are firefighters,
nurses,
and retail salespeople.
(don't ask)
University officials also attend to promote writing. (Instructor Jonne Akens, with Interim Head Paul Zelhart, Department of Literature and Languages)
Professor Bolin (Department of Literature and Languages)
is intrigued by a project.
Dean Klein (College of Arts and Sciences) and Professor Dunbar-Odom (Department of Literature and Languages) are delighted.
Dean Langford (College of Business and Technology) is impressed
as he talks with knowledgeable students.
Rachel Story even won an internship from her studies with D Magazine.
Educational good times . . .
as they celebrate their efforts.
Fun!
Conversation!
Friendship!
