Dear colleagues,

 

As the end of the semester draws near, Graduate Student Life is offering two events that are aimed at supporting graduate student writing success. Both events provide an opportunity for community and mutual support (including an in-person option), which may be particularly valuable during this mostly virtual and socially distanced semester. Please share these opportunities with your graduate students and graduate faculty. Please direct any questions about these events to Graduate Student Life at [log in to unmask].

 

Thank you!

 

Best,

Julie
