The College of Arts and Sciences maintains strong connections with our alumni network of more than 56,500 individuals. When I speak to our alumni, I often ask them what types of learning experiences at 蜜桃社区 were most helpful to them, and also what might have helped to better prepare them for their careers. Many respond that outstanding written communication skills are the key to success in a wide range of careers, and that they probably would have benefitted from completing an additional writing course.
