CRES ALUMNI

The CRES Program, while small in the past, is now growing slowly. We are proud of our alumni, most of whom, over the years, have obtained tenure-track positions at community colleges and four-year institutions across the country. Others from the program have pursued non-teaching professions or enrolled in programs such as legal studies that draw on their expertise in composition and rhetoric.
