The Writing Center is pleased be a resource for graduate students throughout the various stages of their writing projects. From course papers to proposals to master's and doctoral theses, we are interested in supporting graduate student writing through resources such as one-on-one writing sessions, brown-bags and group workshops, and resource referral.
Although we are not content experts, we can help with writing issues including brainstorming, argument development, organization, clarity of expression, and citation/documentation.
Dennis Bennett and Robin Pappas facilitate several brown-bag talks throughout the year on topics specific to graduate thesis projects. In addition to common issues such as writer's block, idea generation and organization, and revision strategies, our most popular topic is the Review of Literature. Please check back for information about the date, location, and topic for our next workshop.
Students develop their expertise as writers via a number of methods, some of which are self-directed (e.g., thesis-writing guides and online reference materials), and others which are socially oriented, such as facilitated writing groups. At the Writing Center, we strive to support graduate writers by listening to the kinds of challenges they confront in their work and suggesting possible opportunities and additional resources that address those challenges.
Please contact Dennis or Robin to learn more about additional resources for graduate student writers.
