Because I love all of the classes Rowan has to offer, I try to do internships over the summer. They’ve showed me different areas of writing and publishing and all the different ways I could do what I love.

Show your work. Don’t be afraid to change some things about your writing because if you leave Rowan as the same writer you entered you didn’t learn anything.

“There are so many stories to be told about people that you know and care about and sometimes people you don’t know,” says Eric U., a student in the 4+1 B.A./M.A. in Writing Arts program. “Every person is different. So just looking around you, you can see the stories hidden behind people’s eyes, just waiting to be told. And I want to be the one to tell them.”
