Welcome!

The Writing Center is introducing it’s very first This I Believe archive for Lewis University.

Inspired by the 1950s radio program that was created to inspire a nation divided during the Cold War, the This I Believe campaign strives to accomplish a similar task of bringing people together through the written word. Lewis University’s Writing Center and DISCOVER Initiative have partnered together, adopting the enthusiasm fostered from This I Believe by offering an annual presentation of essays. At the school-wide event, both students and faculty share their original essays on what they believe in and the events that inspire them.

This archive contains the pieces presented by students and faculty for the event. Browse through each semester’s archive to view each piece one by one, or choose a category that most interests you.
