Carolyn Huynh
Major Persuasive Project
• Title of Project: Alcohol License Project; Alcohol Research for Seattle University
• Genre: Grant proposal
• Publication Venue: I hope to present my case to Seattle University, the College of Arts and Sciences to help start up a student-run research department combining all the different majors together. Psychology, sociology, communications, etc. to do intensive research on underage binge drinking (specifically on college campuses) and to begin the discussion on possibly lowering the drinking age to eighteen and implementing either a nationwide or statewide license program. When someone turns sixteen, before they can drive on their own, they have to take classes and be under strict supervision—a program like that to slowly move the drinking age down to eighteen would give kids enough time to learn the consequences of drinking and driving or binge-drinking.
• Audience: students, faculty, administration
• Brief Analysis: For this certain grant proposal, I intend to demonstrate the strategy of “possibility” and the type of change that could be different in the future as proof. I also hope to utilize the strategy of hierarchy and what is important in society as well as giving conducive and convincing enough evidence to show how important this topic is.

I think the LOI as a genre for her persuasive argument is the best fit. Because the argument is to request fund, so the IOL is the most effective and direct approach. Also, because her audience is very specific, and it is school official, I think this professional letter works well. Why we need to request funds for the research of alchohole is obviously important and is is justifiable because it is in college, and most of college and universities concerns the students' alchohole issues. Her argument is directly appealing to the audience's interests: school want their student to be good, they want to protect student from drinking issue, and drinking is their major concern.
