Pitts Writing and Rhetorical Skills: While the other four tracks (and every English department) have the same worry about student writing, our worry is particularly intense given the close relationship in the PW major of writing skills to professional opportunities. This is another point I emphasize to students in Writing in the Public Sphere: if you can’t write well, you’re not going to do well as a professional writer. Based on real-world demand for professional writing skills, Paul Bender and I want to emphasize in our writing courses audience awareness, knowledge of grammar, and critical thinking. Real-World Connections: Of all the PW program’s connections to the workplace (publication practica, writing workshops, course service-learning projects), our internship requirement is the most important. Our students generally find good and useful internships, and we must continue to help students find them. We’ll continue to expand our relationship with local, regional, and national internship opportunities. Technology: Paul Bender and I agree with Kim and Tolley, who have recently written about their own PTW program at the University of Memphis—technology is important for their students to learn, but only one aspect of their professional writing education (Kim and Tolley 385). Naomi has said that her company uses Adobe InDesign rather than QuarkXPress, and while she wishes she’d learned InDesign at ONU, she’s learning what she needs to know on the job. Our graduates seem to be adequately prepared for workplace technology requirements, but it’s up to us to keep pace with these requirements. It looks as if we’ll be adding InDesign to our Desktop Publishing course at some point in 2006. But while we must periodically upgrade our computer applications and our use of technology in our classrooms and courses, as a department we also agree that the emphasis of the PW program will continue to be on writing skills, rhetorical sophistication, and a critical cultural literacy. We’d like this foundation to mediate against the vagaries of real world technological, corporate, or market changes, even as we keep track of and respond to those—and a host of other—changes. 144
