Writing for Graduate Success: Introduction to Research Writing

New to graduate school and want to improve your writing? Effective research writing is not just a skill; it’s a disciplinary practice shaped by the rhetorical norms, analytical moves, and communicative expectations of your field. Using research-informed frameworks, examples from published studies, and guided mini-exercises, we break down the logic and core features of successful academic writing. Whether you’re drafting your first course paper or preparing to write your graduation thesis, you’ll leave with practical strategies used by successful researchers.

Attend in person, meet fellow graduate students and enjoy light refreshments while you practice.
