Writing Consultant In-Service Sessions

We are happy to announce the series of Writing Consultant in-service training sessions for the 2007-2008 academic year. These sessions are designed to provide instructional support for our corps of Writing Consultants and will be led by our professional staff and veteran consultants.

You are required to attend at least three sessions per semester (including the session on Aug. 24). Of course, you are welcome – and encouraged – to attend as many of these as you feel would be useful.

Unless otherwise noted, the sessions all will be held on Fridays at 1:30p.m. in room 216 and will last approximately one hour. After the session, the content will be posted on the Writing Consultant space on the Writing Center's website at www.uh.edu/writecen/Consultants/. Announcements about upcoming sessions will be posted on the Consultant News and Events page.
