Hi! My name is Veronika Miskowiec. I’m originally from just outside of Chicago, and I’ve lived their all my life. My family is Polish, and I grew up completely immersed in that culture. I’m fluent in Polish, but I’m also learning Spanish and Russian. My intended major is International Politics, and I’m excited to take more classes in that field. I enjoy playing volleyball, snowboarding, and going out.

Rhetoric and Civic Life (RCL) is a course at Penn State University that looks at rhetoric as more than just a persuasive tool; rhetoric is constantly being thrown at us, and we don’t even realize it. RCL teaches us to not only recognize it but to use it in our daily lives. It can be an important tool in being an aware individual, and that specific avenue has to be explored.

This next section will talk about PAS, but I do not have enough information about it yet hahahahaha.
