Testimonials

“No matter who you are and no matter what you’re doing, the things that we write and read actually affect who we are and the world around us. They not only show us what’s happening in our own lives and what’s happening outside in the world, but they actually show us that we do have an impact. So if that’s not motivation enough to be an English major, I don’t know what is.”

Dr. Bille R. Tadros, Assistant Professor of English
