What I liked most was being given the skills to find my voice by using a medium that I enjoyed expressing myself through. Going into the program, I knew I wanted to be creative and develop my critical thinking skills, and I know, without a doubt, that the UWRF English program helped me accomplish both goals ten-fold. The classes I took were fun and interesting and the people I met along the way were remarkable.
