Liz Karagianis

I had the pleasure of being a student in Professor Karagianis's class during my sophomore year of college, for Introduction to Communication Writing. She is the reason why I have grown more confident in my writing, as she taught me how to write everything from a news article, to a press release, to a memoire. Liz was the editor of the Spectrum- the tabloid newspaper at Massachusetts Institute of Technology before her time as a professor at Boston University.
