WHO TAKES CALDERWOOD SEMINARS?
As someone who often has a hard time receiving criticism of my work, this class helped me to become more accustomed not to take constructive feedback too personally, and as a result I believe I have become a better writer. Overall, I believe this course strengthened my critical thinking, writing, and communication skills in a way that only a course structured in this way could.

Calderwood Seminars are offered to juniors and seniors as upper-level courses within disciplines or in interdisciplinary majors, sometimes serving as capstone
experiences. The seminars encourage students to make
use of the knowledge they have gained in previous
courses to tackle both familiar and unfamiliar topics
related to their majors as they work to discover their
voices.
First-years and sophomores also have much to gain from
Calderwood Seminars. If the learning that accompanies
public writing is valuable to students as they prepare for
life after college, it is equally valuable for students as
they move through their college years. Calderwoods
geared toward these students rely less on prior academic
training while still encouraging them to formulate their
own opinions and find their voices.
“I have seen my writing go from bland and academic
to colorful and dynamic.”
