InQuiry's Writers & Editors
Our featured writers and editors are all First Year Composition students in the UTRGV writing program. They are part of an experiential course in which they develop their understanding of writing and rhetoric by developing content for InQuiry.
It's their experiences that lend them a voice and give them the authority to develop InQuiry's content.
