Upcoming Webinar

Writing Seminar-Phone Conference @ Thursday, June 8th, 7:00pm-8:30pm

Cynthia Lawrence, Ph.D. & John Bilorusky, Ph.D. WISR Faculty Facilitators. This will be a conference call (instead of a seminar) on writing. Please call or e-mail WISR for the 510 area code phone number to call to participate and for additional resources. The conference call line is being provided courtesy of California.com. This will be a chance to discuss the writing challenges of being a WISR student and to help get over writer’s block. Drs. Lawrence and Bilorusky will suggest strategies for generating writing, especially writing that helps one to tap into and express one’s own knowledge—notes of ideas, descriptions of experiences, rough drafts for papers, and more. They will prepare an outline and links to internet resources which students may look at on WISR’s web site prior to and during the phone seminar. This conference call should be helpful to many students who are interested in help to more gracefully and meaningfully becoming engaged in writing.

Participating students are encouraged to refer to this web page before and during the seminar.
