What's New in the Program in Writing and Rhetoric
	Stanford’s Community Writing Project The Community Writing Project (CWP) within the Program in Writing and Rhetoric began in 1988, and is one of the oldest national service-learning programs in writing and rhetoric. CWP students research and produce written, spoken, visual and / or multimedia projects that directly benefit area nonprofit or governmental agencies with which they work. These projects give students opportunities to work outside an academic setting in rhetorical situations of practical consequence. Ultimately their work will reach audiences beyond their teachers and serve tangible purposes for community audiences and for the students themselves. (Read more about the CWP Project)
