Research-Writing Workshops Request

Integrated Academic Literacies:
Research & Writing Workshop Series

Faculty may choose one or more of the following strategy-based workshops for their classes. While these are sessions facilitated by Libraries employees, we ask that faculty plan to participate in the sessions as well.
