Issue 20: A Multidisciplinary Anthology by USF Students
Writing for a Real World (WRW), now celebrating its twentieth publication, is dedicated to providing a public forum for the finest undergraduate academic writing at the University of San Francisco. Created in partnership between the Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences and the Department of Rhetoric & Language, WRW publishes student writing with commentary from students and their instructors. We welcome not only essays and research papers, but also scientific, business, and technical reports.
