The writing on the wall: More writing courses needed for science majors

Deanna Ferrell, senior assistant director of marketing communications for the College of Science (CoS), is what you would call a team player. When the college identified a need for more writing courses for CoS majors, Ferrell asked if she could help.
 “Deanna heard of a need in the college for more writing-intensive courses, inquired how she might lend her expertise as a science writer to help fill a gap, and now is teaching in addition to writing for the college. It fills a need the college had while providing Deanna with further career satisfaction opportunities.” — Tammi Freehling, senior associate director of marketing communications, CoS
