Introduction

Sarah White is director of the First-Year Writing Program at Purdue University Northwest.

I own two of the cutest dogs in the Midwest—Daphne du Furrier (cockapoo) and Oscar Woolf (Chizer—Schnauzer/Chihuahua mix). I also enjoy playing pickleball. My favorite movie is Jaws, and my favorite video game is God of War.
