This May term, a Transylvania University class got real-world writing and video experience while serving the local community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students in a variety of majors who took Writing for\/with Nonprofits not only explored the \u201chistories, genres and rhetorical practices that inform the good work of nonprofits,” but they also volunteered to do some of this good work themselves \u2014 from sorting donations to providing some of their digital liberal arts expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professors Kerri Hauman and Scott Whiddon have team-taught the course both during May term and the longer fall semester. Their students work with the local Community Action Council<\/a> each time; the most recent class created videos, blog posts and graphics \u2014 content the nonprofit shared on its website and social media during May’s Community Action Month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working together on this video, the class launched its partnership with CAC this May term.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn each iteration of this course, we\u2019ve seen amazing growth in students\u2019 rhetorical sensibilities, their engagement with drafting and revising and offering peers feedback and their understanding of and empathy toward the larger Lexington community they are a part of,\u201d according to the professors. “This class allows students to do real writing for real audiences and real purposes. It connects the values of a liberal arts education with the needs of community-based writing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This May term, the students also volunteered at The Nest and International Book Project (pictured above), and representatives from other nonprofits, including Habitat for Humanity and the Tahlsound Music Festival, came to their classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Working directly with nonprofits that are doing amazing things in Lexington inspired me to do the same,” junior Ysa Leon said. \u201cI\u2019m so grateful for the experience that I had.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caroline Shutt, a senior who\u2019s giving Saturday\u2019s commencement<\/a> address, said college students rarely get a chance \u201cto create real content for real audiences, and our class partnership with CAC allowed us to do just that. It’s been an honor to work with such an amazing organization that makes our Lexington community better.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
