ACADEMIC WRITING IN THE BORDERLANDS

The Academic Writing in the Borderlands program is available to undergraduate and graduate students. Our goal is to help students deepen their understanding of academic writing conventions and develop their awareness of what it means to be an academic scholar and researcher working from and in the Borderlands. The program includes a week-long session in January and tutoring opportunities during the spring semester.
Applications for the 2024 program will be available in November 2023.
GRADUATE WRITING INSTITUTE
Each summer for three weeks in June, WSIP offers the Graduate Writing Institute (GWI) for selected graduate students interested in improving or simply moving forward in their writing. The GWI helps graduate students complete advanced research projects, articles for publication, grant and research proposals, conference presentations, theses, and dissertations. We do not accept students who will be writing their comprehensive exams during the program. Students of various disciplines work on their writing by participating in the following activities:
- Writing workshops
- Individual Tutoring
- Facilitated Small Group Tutoring
