New Course Fall 2026 WEB 2810 UX Writing



New course, Fall 2026
WEB 2810: UX Writing
M/W 1:30–2:45 PM | Virtual (Zoom) | 3 credits | No prerequisites

AI can generate words. It can't decide what a button should say to a stressed user at 2 a.m., or how an error message should sound when someone's payment fails. That judgment involves taste and skill, and companies pay for it. Common job titles are UX writer or content designer, and the work sits at the center of every digital product.

WEB 2810 will introduce you to the craft of UX writing: you'll write user interface (UI) copy, conduct content audits, create voice and tone systems, and orchestrate writing for AI-powered experiences. Every word in a digital product is a design decision, and this course teaches you what goes into those decisions and how to make them well.

BONUS: No prior design or coding experience required. This is a differentiating skill for students in English and technical writing, web and UX design, communications, and visual arts.

Benefits News: Sick or injured? Here is exactly where to go.



 


Skip the waiting room: Your quick guide to the right care (and cash back)

Whether you’re mountain biking your favorite trail, hiking a new peak, or just enjoying a weekend camping trip, outdoor adventures come with their fair share of surprises. But when a fun day outside ends in an unexpected injury, the last thing you want to worry about is a massive medical bill.

Knowing where to go before you head out can save you thousands of dollars. To keep your health and your wallet protected, always remember to stay in-network and use this outdoor-focused cheat sheet to find the right care at the right price.


Your Quick Care Guide

  • Minor Illnesses from Home: Use your PEHP E-Care benefit (Telemedicine). You can consult a doctor remotely via your phone or computer for immediate, low-cost care without leaving the couch.

  • Minor Illness or Injury (In-Person): Schedule a visit with your Primary Care Doctor.

  • Ongoing Conditions & Preventive Checkups: Stick to Primary & Specialty Care.

  • After-Hours Minor Injuries or Infections: Skip the ER and head to an in-network Urgent Care to save time and money.

  • Serious, Life-Threatening Injuries: Go straight to the ER / Hospital.


The Secret to Cheaper Scans (and Cash Back!)

Need an MRI, imaging, or a minor surgery? Don't just default to the nearest big hospital—it could cost you thousands more for the exact same procedure.

Instead, use the PEHP Cash Back/Copay Map to find low-cost hospital alternatives. By choosing a high-value, lower-cost facility, you can actually earn cash back in your pocket.

How to find it: Log into your PEHP account and look for the map under the "Find Providers & Costs" menu.

Our hope is to create an environment where participants can better understand themselves through the stories and insights of other women, normalizing common struggles, fostering a sense of unity, and building meaningful support. We also recognize that sometimes a little humor can go a long way, and we welcome moments of lightness alongside the deeper conversations.
