Class Presentations:
The Writers Workshop visits classes, RSOs, and campus units upon request to introduce our resources or to provide a tailored, interactive presentation facilitated by one of our consultants.
Our “Introduction to the Writers Workshop” presentation is approximately 10 minutes in length and offers an overview of the key services we provide for undergraduate and / or graduate writers. We also have a short video introducing our services, which you can view on our “Consultations” page.
In addition, we’re happy to work with you to create a longer writing-related presentation to suit your needs. We can provide the presentation in-person or through Zoom or a similar platform for online courses.
