CELEBRATION: (above,

project to EMU students Jelani
McGadney and Stephani Houghton during
the annual Celebration of Student Writing
April 8. McKenna, an art management major,
said her project explores how teens who
choose not to go to college or pursue
a career are perceived. Her main inspiration
for her project came from five best
friends back home in Grand Rapids. McKenna
was one of approximately 1,000 to 1,200
English 121 students who participated
in the celebration by creating multimedia
projects based on their research work,
according to Linda Adler-Kassner, an
EMU professor of English language and
literature, and founder of the event. Photo
