This assignment, in which students must write a profile of an advocacy group on campus, allows students to increase their familiarity with Purdue’s student organizations. It also encourages them to experiment with analysis and representation. Students cannot merely parrot the organization’s literature. They must actively engage members of the organization in discussion and, in their paper, synthesize their own impression of the group with the information they’ve gathered from these interviews. The specifics of this assignment also compel students to consider the nature of advocacy; this version of the profile assignment fits well with the textbook compose, design, advocate.
