It is our pleasure to announce the publication of the fourth issue of (WAUA), a journal of undergraduate student writing in writing studies courses across campus.

Our volunteer editorial team (Nancy Bray, Anna Chilewska, Anita Parker, Karly Coleman, Melissa Haynes, Alp Cevirme and Lexi Lalonde) produced this issue, which features a wide variety of undergraduate student writing. 

• The opening piece,  by Felix Wang, visually depicts the agony of a never-ending series of writing deadlines.
•  by Tieyang Zhang explores the similarities between the worlds of nature and writing in a fairy tale.
•  by Veronika Ivanytska is a fictional account of a Ukrainian journalist covering the war in Ukraine. This evocative piece describes the difficulty of finding words for the horrors of war.
• The fourth piece in the issue --  -- recounts how the writer overcame language barriers in his native South Sudan through hard work.
• In , Chenoa Kaufman analyzes her own experiences playing video games and considers how violence in video games might affect us in the real world.
• The final piece in the issue --  by Anya Smolny -- is a fictional piece that imagines what would happen if a vampire became a writing tutor. 

With the publication of this issue, WAUA continues to build our exciting repertoire of student writing at the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ. We invite our colleagues who teach writing to share these pieces with your students as models.

We are now seeking submissions from writing studies students for the fifth issue of WAUA, which will be published in late Fall 2024.

Thank you to our great editorial team for their efforts. We can't believe we've reached the fourth issue already!
