Lynn M. Staley teaches Business Writing and coordinates the Business Writing Program.


She also writes poetry and short fiction. An active community volunteer, Professor Staley works with Legal Advocates for Abused Women, which provides legal advice for women and children trying to escape the cycle of domestic violence. She is currently developing community engagement projects in Business Writing classes. Her business writing students created Operation Teardrop, which partners business students with community organizations to fund worthy causes. Operation Teardrop is currently raising funds to support a small school in Sri Lanka. About writing, Professor Staley says,"There are no bad writers, only writers who have not yet practiced enough. Writing is a way of thinking. If you can think, you can learn to write well."
