Level up your writing skills!
We have some exciting writing workshops coming up this term! Most workshops take about half an hour and are an opportunity to explore and learn about different approaches to essay writing. This semester, we have five workshops lined up between January 22nd and March 5th that you can attend (did we mention they're free for NWP students?).
Generative AI for Students

Get Organized
- Find out how you can break the essay writing process into more manageable steps and avoid leaving everything to the last minute.
Sources 101
- Discover the many uses of sources in an essay, as well as the difference between a primary and secondary source, and what the heck “peer-reviewed” means and why it's important.
Don't Fear the Blank Page!

Word 101
