The articles in this issue of Memorandum were written by students in UAB’s Professional Writing program. The subject matter of each feature ranges from one student’s personal teaching experience to another’s investment in composting paper. Inside, you’ll find tips on font style and learn about how to design your own major; if you want to learn about the interview process from the employer’s side, look no further. Maybe you’re an undergraduate torn between whether to pursue grad school or whether to jump straight into a career—there are articles below that might help you decide.
