The CAS Writing Awards
We write for many reasons. We write for the pleasure of clarifying our thoughts and
thinking through our ideas. We also write to share and convey. We text friends, we
email family, and we publish discoveries that inform a community of scholars. And,
yes, we also write to complete assignments. In every case, we create a permanency
that lets others understand our insights and revelations, regardless of whether those
expressions speak to the mundane or revolutionary.
