Writing Groups

Reading and writing at an advanced academic level in a second or third language is challenging. Learning the academic expectations for assignments, citations, and writing styles for a new culture adds another layer of complexity for many students studying in the United States for the first time.

This writing group aims to help fill in some of those gaps by providing

• dedicated time to meet in-person and work on academic writing assignments.
• mentorship through discussions and guest speakers.
• a community of other international students who can share their experiences, challenges, and solutions.
• a certificate of completion awarded to participants who attend at least 8 of the 12 meetings during semester.

The meeting day and time has yet to be determined for fall 2026.

This writing group provides Honors College students who are working on their thesis with structured, protected writing time. Each group meets once a week for 90 minutes. The format consists of 10-15 minutes of goal setting and discussion at the beginning of the session, followed by protected writing time, and culminates in a 10-minute discussion of your progress and advice for future writing sessions.

Writing groups are formed near the beginning of each semester and continue until last day of regular classes.
