Upcoming Events
- The Writing for Self-Care workshop will take place on April 11 from 4:30-6:00pm (*time changed, originally scheduled to start at 3:30pm). This will be an opportunity to relax and (re)appreciate the many ways that writing can improve your mental health, particularly during a stressful point in the semester. All WR students are invited.
- A Peer Review Practice workshop will be held on April 16 from 3:30-5:00pm. The purpose of this workshop is to guide students through best practices for peer review, with a particular focus on reading strategies and providing peers with actionable feedback for all types of assignments, including alternative genre work like short stories, podcasts, and other creative work. All WR students are invited.
Past Events
- BU’s Clues: April Fool’s Edition was on April 1 from 3:30-5:00pm. Back by popular demand! Similar to last semester’s events, we used the April Fool’s opportunity to give students practice with important information literacy skills and methods, like SIFT. This scavenger hunt-style event featured prizes for the winners. All WR students were invited.
- The Writing Center’s Topic Development workshop was held on February 10 from 2:30-3:30pm. The purpose of this workshop was to help students develop their research topics and questions. WR 15x students were encouraged to attend.
- The Word Puzzle Marathon happened on March 5 from 3:30-5:00pm. During this fun opportunity to destress right before Spring Break, we offered riffs on popular digital word games (e.g. Wordle and Connections), with the potential for prizes for the winners. All WR students were invited.
- The Hidden Statements workshop was held on March 20 from 3:30-4:30pm. The purpose of this workshop was to help students deepen their arguments, particularly by uncovering the “hidden” ideas they’ve left unsaid or have assumed need no further explanation. WR 15x students were encouraged to attend.
