Vol. 8 No. 1 (2026): Scaffold: A Showcase of Vanderbilt First-Year Writing
Scaffold: A Showcase of Vanderbilt First-Year Writing | Vol. 8, No. 1 | 2026
Scaffold is a digital collection of first-year writing curated by the Vanderbilt Writing Studio. As an extension of the annual Undergraduate Writing Symposium, this collection honors and celebrates undergraduates' accomplishments as writers, scholars, and artists specifically in their formative first year of college. To that end, Scaffold highlights the developing writing processes and learning experiences so central to the growth of undergraduate writers by pairing each piece in the collection with a recorded reflection from its author.
We gratefully acknowledge the faculty, graduate instructors, library staff, and writing consultants who served as reviewers for Scaffold, Vol. 8, whose generosity with their time and expertise made this volume possible.
