English
Department Mission Statement
The Boise State University Department of English plays an important role in the
university's strategic mission to become a metropolitan research university of
distinction. We promote academic excellence by teaching students ways of
engaging, inquiring, and learning through intensive study of language, and by
involving them in creating, comprehending, and interpreting different kinds of
text in various media. Our students thus build foundations for successful
careers in the many fields that rely on effective and creative communication. We
contribute directly to a vibrant culture, on campus and off, by encouraging
aesthetic appreciation of languages and literatures, and by reinforcing the
unique role of the humanities in promoting critical thinking through textual
study that employs multiple perspectives. We contribute to public engagement by
participating actively in local, regional, national, and global communities
through publications, readings, consultations, performances, teacher-support and
service-learning programs, and internships. And we produce exceptional
scholarship and creative works, which help establish our faculty as intellectual
and artistic leaders.
Wit’s End is published twice a year, once during the fall semester and once during the spring semester. It is produced by a student intern and supervised by Dr. Ann Campbell.
