Introduction to Graduate Writing Workshop
for first- and second-year graduate students
The expectations for writing in graduate school are much higher than for writing as an undergraduate. As a graduate writer, you may
undertake the writing of articles for publication, grants, conference presentations, a thesis or dissertation, etc. The Introduction to Graduate Writing Workshop is meant to introduce graduate students in their first or second year to various aspects
of scholarly writing so that they can become successful scholarly writers in their field of study. The workshop is a four-part event, and participants are expected to attend all four sessions. The four parts of the workshop focus on Getting Started, Drafting,
Revising/Editing, and Project Planning.
Fall 2022:
Dates/Times: Thursdays during October (6th, 13th, 20th, 27th) from 4:30-6:00 pm.
Format: Virtual (Zoom)
Anyone interested in attending this four-part event should apply between September 22, 2022 and October 4, 2022. Complete
the application survey here. For more information, see the introductory
material in the application survey or email Writing.Lab@purdue.edu and
include INTRO GRAD in the subject line.
