Foundational Writing Skills Intensives

Apply for Foundational Writing Skills Intensive

This series of workshops will offer a refresher on the foundational writing skills, such as sentence structure, paraphrasing, and paragraph organization, that students need to support their graduate academic careers at TTU. We hope you'll consider applying. 

When:  This 4-part program will be offered June 29-July 2, 10 AM-12 PM noon, daily. Applications are due by Tuesday, June 16, at noon.

What: This writing skills intensive is an in-person, interactive, multi-day workshop series for graduate students and post-docs. It focuses on refreshing and/or developing foundational writing skills.

Learning is cumulative across each session, and participants are expected to attend all four sessions. 

Who: Many graduate students are surprised by the expectations surrounding academic writing at the Masters and Doctoral levels. If you're a graduate student who has felt frustrated in your research process by writing skills like grammar, sentence structure, paraphrasing, or paragraph organization, we'd like to invite you to apply for our Foundational Writing Skills Intensive.

Where: In-Person in Weeks Hall.
