Knights Write Showcase

Stylus Awards

The Department of Writing and Rhetoric publishes Stylus: A Journal of First-Year Writing to provide a forum for the exemplary writing and research produced by students enrolled in the university’s first-year composition courses.

Bringing together work from across a program of some 4,000 students, Stylus celebrates writing that demonstrates an inquiring mind, compelling prose, and original thought.

The John C. Hitt Prize for Excellence in First Year Writing is awarded yearly as part of the Knights Write awards ceremony. The Hitt Prize recognizes the talent and hard work of one student published in either of the preceding winter or spring issues.

Convergence Rhetoric Awards

Convergence Rhetoric is a peer-reviewed, research journal dedicated to the publication of undergraduate student research in writing and rhetoric and the digital humanities. The name of our journal reflects a recognition that rhetoric, or the art of communication, is an integral part of lived experience, and the place where multiple areas of life converge. Convergence Rhetoric is a place to make these ideas visible by publishing student research projects.

Since 2020, the Department of Writing and Rhetoric has recognized one outstanding article annually with the Excellence in Convergence Publication Award that is announced at the Knights Write Awards Ceremony,
