Ink: Chronicles in Composition
Ink: Chronicles in Composition is the FYC program’s student publication. Each year, FYC faculty choose the best of several essays authored by students in English 101 and 102, and publish those essays in Ink. Ink gives you access to a collection of writing by students who a semester before were in your seat. As you exit composition class, Ink gives you the opportunity to publish your work, and compete for one of three cash prizes awarded to the best of the best.
Ink is not just words on a page. Ink is a state of mind. Ink is creative expression. Ink is talking, reading and thinking. Ink is written by students for students. Inside Ink you’ll find writing about family and friends and conversations about cultural and personal identity. You’ll read rhetorical analyses and well-researched essays. You’ll discover carrying models for good writing, research, documentation, and editing. But the one thing these pieces of writing have in common is a strong voice. We hope you’ll read these essays and be inspired to test out your own voice during your composition class this year.
