That's Dr. Jeff Grabill, he's a professor of writing and rhetoric here at Michigan State, as well as the Chair of our Writing, Rhetoric, and American Cultures department. And that's Dr. Julie Lindquist. She's a professor of writing and rhetoric, and the director of First-Year Writing at Michigan State University. That's Kate Fedewa. She's a member of our fixed-term faculty, and an instructor at Michigan State. And that's Kristen Heine. She's also a fixed-term faculty member and an instructor in our first-year writing department. And that's me, Jennifer Royston, an instructor at the department of English at MSU. And we want you to spend 8 weeks with us learning how to think like a writer.
