Exploring Rhetoric and Power in Our Lives

Wednesday, February 18, 2026 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Contrary to popular discourse, rhetoric isn’t just for politicians—it’s for everyone. In this presentation, five students from various majors will share their explorations of rhetoric and its power in our everyday lives. These ENC1101 projects remind us just how much rhetoric and writing matter even if we don’t always take the time to notice its impacts. This event is part of the Knights Write Showcase.
