Starting in Spring 2023, we will offer workshops that focus on different aspects of writing.
The Writing Institute is offering two workshops to help you develop material for your job search. You are welcome to participate whether you are actively applying for jobs now or you are planning to do so in the future. You can expect to work on these documents during the workshops.
The workshops will be led by Dainy Bernstein, a Visiting Lecturer in the English Department.
