During the 2015-16 school year, the University Writing Center will offer no-cost seminars in academic writing for UConn graduate students. Learning to write well takes time, commitment, and experience, and while no single course can do the job alone, this 5-week seminar will give participants guided practice in becoming more skilled writers of research and scholarship. Students must come with a working project (for example, a dissertation chapter, journal article, grant proposal, or course paper) because they will apply the strategies covered in class to that ongoing project throughout the five weeks.
These free seminars do not carry UConn academic credit, nor are they graded. We simply aim to help graduate students improve their writing in ways that will serve them well in their academic careers.
The first session will run from on Wednesdays, September 9th through October 7th from 9AM to 12PM. (Later sessions will run on Thursdays in October and November, and on Tuesdays in February and March.)
*For full consideration, please apply by August 24th.*
Applications submitted after that date will be considered if spaces are available.
