Sivan Adler is a freshman BFA Acting major with minors in Film Studies, English, and Women’s and Gender Studies: "Writing a research paper is difficult, especially when it is your first one. Although it is difficult, even when I am writing about something I do not care much about, I still try to find joy in the fact that I am learning new information." 

Mary Catherine Aiviolitis is a sophomore English–Adolescence Education major with a minor in French:  "As a future English teacher, I thought this project would allow me to grow as an educator. It is my hope that I can help my students grow as writers, but in a fun and engaging way. Research papers can be so boring to many children, but I hope that I can change that." 

Mercedes (Sadie) Brown  is a senior Criminal Justice major with a minor in Psychology: "I took my writing process through the six steps that I have found most beneficial when I am writing. When I was learning my learning process, it was hard for me to find what worked best for me so I thought it was important to show what I have learned.  I made sure to include in my infographic the most often used research process words." 

Yaneli Diaz is a BA Writing major with a minor in Theatre: "I have always loved writing, but putting the creative process into a list was a difficult task for me personally. My creative process includes a lot of jumping back and forth, and even putting my tasks to the side: something I was ashamed about at first. But now, through this infographic, I have learned that everyone's creative process is different. I created this piece in hope that anyone who feels that their writing process may be messy sees that that is all right, and every artist's process is different." 

Amarah Ghori is a sophomore Communication: Media Management major with a Professional Writing minor: "I have a love for social media, so when I was creating my writing process, I knew I wanted to talk about something related, and that’s when my idea for creating the writing process for a social media post for brands came to life." 

Richard Le is a first-year student majoring in Writing and planning to add a minor in Geology and GIS: "With only a couple of far-fetched goals, I have made it through a year of college. The future still remains uncertain for where I may end up, but the experiences of both creative and professional writing have provided me several joys and valuable connections. My writing process may not be defined yet, but it will continue to evolve from completing further projects and learning from others. 

Esther MacDonald is a sophomore majoring in Ethnic & Gender Studies: "The writing process must include the topic at hand with detailed information about said topic. Being able to come from a clear understanding of the reasoning behind the information that you’re writing about is an important factor in being able to get your message across to others to read about concisely and clearly. Navigating through the semester with the writing process, I’ve learned that the writing major isn’t a perfect match for me, and that’s okay. I am grateful to have gained some beneficial knowledge to apply to other new classes moving forward."

June Naughton is a second-year BA Writing major: "For me writing is the way that I can express my deepest thoughts and feelings about a subject and really get it out there. I love the way my thoughts spill out onto a page. It’s satisfying, to say the least, to have my thoughts and ideas being read and thought about. It feels very validating. With the infographic specifically, I felt a lot of creative freedom. The project allowed me to express a lot because I discussed my thoughts on writing as well as being able to showcase my visual ideas."

Jocelyn Paredes is a senior double majoring in English and Writing: "Exploring the writing process through a self-analysis has been a cathartic experience, allowing me to become a better writer through understanding how I work."

Jenna Vandervort is a senior earning a BA in Music with a concentration in Voice: "Eventually, I intend to expand my skill set into Music Education, using these newfound skills in the Writing Process to help further my progress towards that overall goal."
