The Department of English, Dr. Scott Pound, and in cooperation with Hospice Northwest, offered a "Life Writing" course for 3rd/4th year students. This course provided students a unique opportunity to connect with Seniors in the community. Seniors would tell their life story and students would put those words into written form. At the end of the course, students gave the Senior the copy of the written work. Of course students were graded on the work, but for most, the greatest reward was connecting with and learning from the Senior.
