Our young writers are demonstrating exceptional talent and stellar work ethic in Rhiannon Fagan's Composition I (ENG 160) class. Three students—Kay Barbieri, Meadow Concepcion, and Riley Dechon—earned prestigious "Exceeds" ratings from the SUNY New Paltz Writing and Rhetoric Program. This distinction recognizes their ability to establish effective voices and styles while exploring unexpected perspectives and developing sophisticated source analysis in their papers.
We're also proud to announce that all portfolio-submitting students met SUNY New Paltz's rigorous program expectations and are ready to advance to Writing and Rhetoric (ENG 170) next semester!
The semester culminated in the class's annual "Celebration of Writing," where students presented their favorite essays and reflected on their growth as writers. Fagan notes how impressed she has been with students' dedication to tackling challenging topics and engaging in meaningful academic, political, and social discussions through their work.
Please join us in congratulating these talented young writers!
