PW Club

The Professional Writing Club at Purdue University is the official club for students and alumni of the PW Program. The purpose of the Professional Writing Club is to promote, advance and encourage professional writing students in the development of their scholastic careers and to facilitate the growth of community within the program.

The PW Club had its first meeting in December 1999 and continues to have meetings every 2-4 weeks during the fall and spring semesters. Purdue students are welcome to participate in the club regardless of their major. To join, just attend our next meeting. Meeting announcements will be posted to the PW front page and sent to PW-Talk, the mailing list for current PW majors and alumni.

ABOUT THE OFFICERS

Francesca San Pedro, President
Francesca is a senior in Professional Writing from Bolingbrook, Illinois (a southwest suburb of Chicago). She has just completed minors in Linguistics and Spanish Language and Literature. As you may suspect from these choices, she thoroughly enjoys language and, consequently, travel. She participated in a Purdue maymester to China in the summer of 2008, and most recently spent the summer of 2009 interning at a publishing house in Boulder, Colorado. You may often see Francesca in the writing lab, either working as a Business Writing Consultant or fulfilling duties as a Crouse intern.
