Grad class makes complaints easier: Students revamp Human Relations

How's that for a headline! Poor Kenneth Burke worked a lifetime to explain human relations in A Grammar of Motives, A Rhetoric of Motives, and A Symbolic of Motives and our instructors have already revamped them!

Actually, this headline refers to a story on WLFI about the project completed by our new PW instructors in December. The client was the Tippecanoe County Human Relations Commission, and the project involved studying and reporting on the complaint process. It's nice to see our local news station talking about "writing and research to make a difference" and "white papers," of all things.

Here's where you can read the story at WLFI: Grad class makes complaints easier: Students revamp Human Relations (WLFI News)

Well done, Chalet, Elizabeth, Frank, Rita, Morgan, Karen, Josh, and Tony!
