FALL 2024 Workshops

Workshops are a chance to learn about writing topics, engage in conversation with other students, and practice strategies. All workshops are 50 minutes and held via Zoom. You can read about each workshop and register with the links below.

Summary, Paraphrase, and Quotation: What Is the Difference?

Integrating sources into your writing puts your ideas in conversation with previous writers and researchers. In this workshop, you'll learn differences between summary, paraphrase, and quotation. Together, we'll practice these three approaches and identify strategies for making effective decisions when integrating sources within your writing.

The Writing Process & Time Management

Writing is a process that takes time and energy—things which can be challenging during a busy term. Join us to think through steps of the writing process and discuss approaches to project and time management. Together, we’ll explore strategies and resources to support you in accomplishing your writing goals.

Personal Statement Strategies

Personal statements are an important part of graduate school applications and can often be stressful to draft. Join us as we introduce personal statements, talk through strategies for structure and content, and review a sample statement together. You’ll learn about strategies for drafting your own statement and resources to support your writing process.
