GSC Writing Studio
Make appointments for one-on-one consultations with our Writing Studio Instructor to address concerns and develop strategies for completing the grant researching/writing process.
Graduate Writing Studio Philosophy:
The Graduate Writing Studio (GWS) is an integral part of the CI University Writing Center. Our purpose is to provide writing support to credential and graduate students in order to meet the increasingly complex requirements of advanced degree writing. Instructors are available to meet and collaborate with students in order to help them plan, organize, and carry out their required writing tasks-particularly in larger, often semester-long culminating projects, including theses and portfolios. We strive to empower students with a clearer understanding of academic writing processes and a continually developing writing proficiency in various academic genres.
Policies:
We are here to relieve credential and graduate students’ writing-related anxiety, and to overcome obstacles in the writing process. We will help you to bolster the strengths of and combat the weaknesses in your writing. We are here to help you succeed in your post baccalaureate program!
