In college, students maytake a writing intensive course in which they research a course topic or case study2 and presenttheir findings as an oral story to their peers. They learn by teaching others through stories.There are many different methods of faculty storytelling in the classroom. A teacher may relay astory they have read or heard to emphasize a point, encourage students to tell their ownexperiences that relate to a lecture subject, create a hypothetical story to encourage deeperthinking of a concept or share

Because we focus on recruiting first-year students and retaining them through graduation, the program has grown from nine freshmen in the first year to over forty students now who range from fresh- men to seniors. Our recruitment efforts have become more successful as the program has grown which we attribute to the active involve- ment of current students in recruiting and a record of the programs accomplishments.

These writing assignments exist not only to contribute to thedevelopment of communication skills, but also to simulate industry practice. Design projectsalso often involve teamwork.
