Writing Consultant In-Service Session Series
2009-2010

We are happy to announce the series of Writing Consultant in-service training sessions for the 2009-2010 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. 28). Of course, you are welcome – and encouraged – to attend as many of these as you feel would be useful.

Unless otherwise noted, all the sessions will be held on Fridays at 1:30p.m. in room 216 and will last for approximately an hour. The content of the sessions and announcements about upcoming sessions will be posted on the Consultant News and Events page.
