Mikael is a 2015 graduate from UCF with a <a href=\"https:\/\/cah.ucf.edu\/writingrhetoric\/ba.php\">BA<\/a> in Writing and Rhetoric. He had this to say about the Writing and Rhetoric major:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Writing &amp; Rhetoric is an intellectually challenging  major; it can change not just how you write but how you think. One of the  things I learned is that by assessing the context in which communication takes  place&#8211;whether it&#8217;s oral or written&#8211;you yourself will be in a better position  to communicate. This kind of realization helps me do my job well as a full-time  writing specialist at the Daytona State College Writing Center.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>  While attending UCF, Mikael worked as a writing consultant at the  <a href=\"http:\/\/uwc.cah.ucf.edu\/\">University Writing Center<\/a>, which helped  prepare him for his different roles at DSC. Mikael explains his position and  his various tasks:<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;My position as a writing specialist involves several roles.  I tutor DSC students at both our main campus at Daytona Beach as well as  Deltona. I facilitate four sections of a class called English Studio, which is  meant to give additional support to students who are taking ENC 1101. I also  host workshops for professors who need their class to be caught up on a  particular writing skill or skill set.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>  Mikael also had some great input about considering the future  possibilities when choosing a major:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As a prospective student, the thing you&#8217;ve got to realize is  that the true value of a major comes from what you make out of it. As a UCF  alumnus with a B.A. in Writing &amp; Rhetoric, I made my education not just a  means to employment but also an actual part of my critical thinking process,  which I will use no matter what role I find myself in.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>  The Department of Writing and Rhetoric congratulates Mikael Romo  on his new position at Daytona State College! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Daytona State College Writing Center welcomes UCF alumnus Mikael Romo as their new writing specialist.
