Nice to meet you! I’m Ciara, your TWC Grammar Guru. Now, each new issue of The New Exponent will contain a helpful tip on some area of grammar that is often overlooked or confused. Hopefully, you won’t see the word “Grammar” and decide not to read. Some of these tips will be to your benefit and might actually help when it comes the time to write your next paper. My goal is simple: to make you love grammar as much as I do. Maybe you will even want to change your major to English! Yes, I set high goals.
The Grammar Guru: Semicolons
The poor semicolon is almost dead, so we might as well face the music, right? This precious punctuation mark is hardly ever used and, unfortunately, when it is, it is used in the wrong way.

Many in our TWC family have been following news coverage of the devastating earthquakes that occurred in Haiti this past week. If you have been looking for a way to help, then this is your chance!
Jackie Lynn, a recent transfer student from Roane State, is coordinating a Dial soap drive next Tuesday from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. outside the auditorium. She will also be set up outside the cafeteria on Wednesday during lunch. Everyone is encouraged to bring bars of Dial soap and/or cash donations. All donations will go directly to a temporary hospital in Haiti called “Matthew 25 House.”
Please participate in this relief effort by donating and spreading the word!

Tennessee Wesleyan College has seen its fair share of record-breaking, and this year has been no different. Only two years following its 150th anniversary, Wesleyan is bulging at the seams because of the immense growth in not only its student body, but in what it offers both the campus and surrounding communities. In fact, TWC is now #34 among Baccalaureate Colleges in the Southeast United States, as ranked among other colleges by the “U.S. News & World Report”. Some of the most notable changes include a boom in student enrollment, increases in available technologies, and stronger efforts in the beautification of the Athens campus.
Central to the expansion of TWC is its record student enrollment. “T-Dub”, as how many students lovingly refer to their campus, has literally ballooned into a student body of 1070, a first in Wesleyan history. Continue Reading »
