Scott Whiddon wears many hats at Transylvania University. He teaches a number of first-year and special topics courses, including such student favorites as Reading the Election and Rhetoric of American Prisons. He is also director of the university’s Writing Center. But no matter which hat he’s wearing or with whom he’s working, Whiddon is, in the end, a writing coach. Outside the classroom—and inside, too—Whiddon has a strong interest in music. He has been an advisor to the university’s student-run radio station, Radio TLX, and continues to support its endeavors.
