This Sunday, 12/12 from 4-9pm in Boger, GCC, and the COL Library the Writing Workshop will be hosting the Finals-Write In. The event will feature writing tutors for drop-in appointments, peer advisors, the student ombudsperson, and get through finals goodie bags. The Write-In is meant to be a space on campus for students to work together in community during what is often a stressful time.
Join the Writing Workshop for our first ever Finals Write-In + Study Space! On Sunday, May 16th we’ll be in Tischler Hall (Exley 150) between 2-8pm. Stop by for the most productive afternoon of your finals season–and to make all this work a little less lonely. Writing Tutors will be available for drop-in sessions, and we’ll have plenty of free snacks and stationery to go around. Be one of the first 5 to RSVP and we’ll have a goodie bag for you to pick up on the day-of!
If you can’t come on Sunday, we hope you’ll still make a Writing Workshop appointment this Reading Period. Visit your Writing Workshop Account (WesPortal > Academics) for more details. Email writingworks@wesleyan.edu with any questions.
