While the Spring 2017 class touched a variety of corners of campus, the members did not encompass the entire Northwestern speech community. Students brought a variety of perspectives and backgrounds such as international students, transfer students, some involved with Greek life, others interested in theater and others involved in music/the marching band. Their majors varied and all students identified as female. Topics that were discussed frequently included: editing and/or deleting entries, the ethics surrounding editing/deleting entries, and what creating/editing/deleting entries entails; refining the purpose of WildWords; and discussing how to define the “Northwestern speech community”.
