SUMMARY:Professional Writing Minor Capstone Seminar Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:4th annual Professional Writing Minor Capstone Seminar Colloquium\n“Almost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts. You need to start somewhere.”\n-Anne Lamott \nAbout The Event\nUCLA Writing Programs and the Department of English cordially invite you to our fourth annual Professional Writing Minor Capstone Seminar Colloquium\, organized as part of Undergraduate Research Week 2025. In this series of panels\, students from the Professional Writing Minor (PWM) will present an exciting array of capstone seminar projects. \nA new and growing minor with just eleven graduating seniors in 2020\, forty-three of the PWM’s eighty-one graduating seniors in AY 24-25 will present on a rich diversity of topics that exemplify the range\, depth\, and individualized paths possible within the Professional Writing Minor. From Rachel Zegler to the Armenian diaspora\, urban planning to the effects of SSRIs during pregnancy\, students from diverse majors will share their original work in a range of genres including memoirs\, websites\, zines\, research articles\, and digital marketing campaigns. \nThe colloquium is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. Friends\, family\, faculty\, staff\, and students are welcome to attend. Join us to experience writing as an act of both communication and exploration as these emerging writers and soon-to-be graduates share their insights and discoveries. \nSchedule\n\n\n\n\n\nPresenter\nPresentation Title\n\n\nAnnika Anbiai-Fard\nThe Bluest Eye: Past and Present Plight\n\n\nMatthew Beymer\nA Young Actor Prepares\n\n\nMadison Browning\nMoving Puppets: Dance Theater and Vocalization\n\n\nAngelica Catalan\nEchándole Ganas: A Memoir\n\n\nNatalie Chapin\nRags to Riches: Investigating the American Masterplot\n\n\nLeila Chiddick\nCookbook of Memoirs\n\n\nDanielle Cho\nIn Between Worlds: A Memoir\n\n\nNaomi Chou\nAcross Borders\, Beyond Myself\n\n\nJonathan Cohn\nPersuasive Messaging in Hillel at UCLA’s Instagram Paid Social Outreach\n\n\nNatalie Denhardt\nCodification of Stories: Preserving and Promoting Native Hawaiian Culture Through the Legal System\n\n\nEmmy Etlin\nShifting Gears: Reflections on Graduating College\n\n\nDelia Falliers\nNecessary Research: Long Term Effects of SSRIs in Utero\n\n\nMiranda Fogel\nFrom Concept to Cocktail: A Strategic Business Plan for My Alcoholic Beverage\n\n\nLuciaceleste Garcia\nWhy I Wake: A Personal Search for Purpose\n\n\nSarah Gauger\nDreams\, Seizures\, and the Veil Between\n\n\nRoxanne Ha\nPersona: A Journey to Discovering My Authentic Self\n\n\nLucy Herlihy\nThe Potential of a Child\n\n\nMicah Hoffman\nDeconstructing Plot: Alternative Approaches to Storytelling\n\n\nAda Jack\nChoosing a Major: Investigating UCLA Students’ Motivations\n\n\nOlivia Johnson\n45 Days as a Powell’s Bookseller\n\n\nAmariyah Lane-Volz\nA Dog Returning To Vomit: A Memoir of Text Messages\, Abuse\, and Media Consumption\n\n\nSophie Lattu\nPirating and Ownership in the Arts\n\n\nSophia Manos\nAcetabular Labral Tears in Female Collegiate Rowers: A Case Study from UCLA’s Division I Program\n\n\nAlex McCullough\nDon’t Let Me Forget: A Memoir\n\n\nJacob Mora\nA Sexual Health Guide: Mental Health\, Attitudes\, and Access\n\n\nAutumn Morgan\nBlack Diamond Series Bible\n\n\nKimberly Muro\nWhat’s Next?: Reflections on Life After High School\n\n\nNicole Pacheco\nGuardian Angel: A Memoir\n\n\nIsabella Orr\nIsolation Increase: An Essay Investigating the Loneliness Epidemic\n\n\nKristen Perez\nUnbound: A Feminist Literary Review\n\n\nValerie Prado\nDisentangling Disneyland from Anaheim: The City Beyond the Park\n\n\nMaya Rego\n75 albums in 75 days\n\n\nIsabel Rodriguez\nFrom Classrooms to Sidewalks: Accessibility at UCLA & Beyond\n\n\nOluwadamilola Salami\nSelf-Discovery & Becoming Through Writing\n\n\nDiana Sargsyan\nHomeland: A Matter of Identity\n\n\nLeah Snyderman\nEast and West: Place Identity in Fiction and Reality\n\n\nJane Sonnichsen\nBADLANDS: Rise of the Female Gunslinger\n\n\nJanelle Soriano\nThe Female Persona in Hollywood: Crafting Acceptable Femininity in the Age of Social Media\n\n\nCitlali Tejeda\nBeyond the Skyline: Stories from an Unseen L.A.\n\n\nSoraya Tofighrad\nAn (Impolite) Lesson in Self-Empathy: A Middle Eastern American Memoir\n\n\nTaylor Wallace\nPush Your Luck: A Look into Film\n\n\nSiena Wong\nThe New Yorker by Siena Wong\n\n\nEsther Zhang\nA Middle School Curricula: Writing in the Age of AI\n\n\n\nThe PWM Capstone Seminars are led in Sp25 by Writing Programs faculty\, Drs.
