NSU Writing and Communication Center Executive Director and Graduate Assistants Publish Book – Chapters in Studio-Based Approaches for Multimodal Projects

Kevin Dvorak, Ph.D., executive director of the NSU Writing and Communication Center (WCC) and professor in the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences (CAHSS) Department of Writing and Communication (DWC), and three NSU graduate students published chapters in the book, Studio-Based Approaches for Multimodal Projects: Models to Promote Engaged Student Learning, edited by Russell Carpenter, Ph.D., and published by Rowman & Littlefield. Dr. Dvorak’s chapter, “Reflecting on Applications of Studio-Based Models,” acts as an afterword to the collection, connecting chapters in Studio-Based Approaches to past studio-based literature and offering other writing and communication centers strategies for successfully and seamlessly implementing studio pedagogy (WSP) into their own practices.

The students’ chapter, “Student Engagement in Studio-Based Models,” links WSP with peer-to-peer engagement and uses select events hosted by NSU’s WCC as examples of “studio-based learning” that promote student engagement and facilitate student learning across a broad scope of disciplines. The three students, current and former graduate assistants at the NSU WCC, are:

• Hannah Dean, graduate student of the Dr. Pallavi Patel College of Health Care Sciences Physician Assistant (PA) M.M.S. Program
• Veronica Diaz, recent graduate from the CAHSS M.A. in CRDM program
• Jacqueline Lytle, recent graduate from the CAHSS M.A. in CRDM program
