Volume 4 Issue 2


The articles in this issue of Memorandum were written by students in UAB’s Professional Writing program, all of whom took their own approach to answer either “How can students strengthen their professional and technical communication skills?” or, “What types of jobs are available to professional writing students after graduation?” Inside, you’ll read alumni interviews, learn about potential careers and pick up tips on how to sharpen your own writing skills.
