Abstract
This chapter traces the organic development of rhetorical education at Seattle University, shaped by Jesuit values and sustained through writing across the curriculum. Faculty construct a multilayered approach beginning with the 1986 Core, expanding the Writing Center, and strengthening instruction through full-time Core lecturers and mission-driven pedagogy. The 2013 outcomes-focused Core emphasizes rhetorical knowledge, effective communication, and quantitative literacy, supported by faculty workshops and embedded assessment. Writing in majors deepens rhetorical flexibility, training students to compose discipline-specific arguments and conduct research with intellectual rigor. Finally, the chapter demonstrates how Seattle University integrates eloquentia perfecta into a cohesive, mission-centered education that links critical thinking, ethical expression, and communication as a force for leadership and social change.
