Our symposium is a celebration of the semester-long projects that students undertook in TRAC 110, The Writing Process. The course is an immersion in writing and revision for students in the TRAC (Technology, Research, and Communication) Writing Fellows Program at Lehigh. TRAC 110 builds on the student-centered approach to learning that was introduced in our fall training course, TRAC 100, and is devoted to curiosity, inquiry, creativity, collaboration, and feedback. Students work on a major project that involves writing with multiple iterations that is self-designed and personally meaningful. The projects and processes that students engage with are the drivers and vehicles of learning. This semester, the course was co-taught by Avery McGarry (A&S ’26) and Archer Benedict (A&S ’26) with mentorship from Justin Greenlee as Director of Writing Across the Curriculum.

The style of the TRAC 110 Symposium is a writers showcase. There will be a red carpet! Each student will give a brief presentation that excerpts from or summarizes their complete work. We will enjoy a mix of creative nonfiction, memoir, research papers, documentary filmmaking, plays, videography, game development, reflective writing, and stop motion animation. Students in the seminar are: Heidi Bauer (’28), Casey Braff (’26), Kaitlyn Campbell (’26), Juan Diego Cisneros (’28), Joseph Correra (’28), Alli Courtenay (’26), Tyreese Davidson (’26), Blair Dickinson (’26), Hanna Essey (’26), Natalie Javitt (’26), Shoaa Khan (’28), Sabrina Lee (’27), Sophia Taskov (’26), and Maahi Zaman (’26).

We hope you will join us on May 4th!
