About This Journal
Exigence is the Virginia Community College System online student journal for academic writing. It provides students across the Virginia Community College System (VCCS) an outlet to reach a real, worldwide audience, foster discussion of exigent community issues, recognize student achievement, and promote effective research across the curriculum.
Exigence will also serve as a resource for instructors, both as a storehouse of sample essays and as a teaching tool to further student success in critical thinking. Exigence is funded by a VCCS Paul Lee Professional Development Grant.
