The Howe Center for Writing Excellence aims to foster a vibrant community of writers at Miami University, emphasizing the importance of writing culture. To celebrate these writers, we organize an annual event called "The Writer’s Progress." Typically scheduled in May, this gathering allows Miami writers to connect and contemplate their writing journeys.

The theme of this years event, “This is Howe We Do It,” celebrated the launch of our new podcast produced and hosted by graduate assistant directors Will Chesher and Rena Perez. The first episode of the show is now available on podcast platforms.

The Writer's Progress, expertly organized by Will and Rena, took place on May 10th at King Library. The event encouraged writers to embark on personal writing quests, navigating through various stations designed to facilitate learning and reflection on their academic year's writing endeavors. Each station, referred to as "waypoints," offered interactive elements and activities tailored to participants' writing experiences.

Each station offered writers opportunities to socialize, make crafts, and learn more about the various programming offered by both the Howe Writing Center and Howe Writing Across the Curriculum.

Fellow Travelers met each other and built camaraderie, talking to new people and discovering their writing achievements over the last year.
