Welcome to the Utah State University Rhetoric Associates Program website. Since 1990, the Rhetoric Associates (RA) program has been helping students and faculty improve their communication and writing abilities through a writing across the curriculum (WAC) program. RAs come from all different backgrounds and disciplines and have a wide array of experience. RAs are well-prepared to improve communication skills and elevate thinking. RAs are responsible for commenting on organization, coherence, and style while suggesting ways to improve the text; they do not grade, edit, or comment on the accuracy of the content. students
The Rhetoric Associates are here to help.
