The LIU Writing Center & Writing Across the Curriculum Program will present a workshop next week (Tuesday November 10, 11-12:30, Pratt 120) on creating independent student writing groups. Harriet Malinowitz will be leading the workshop, but more significantly, five of her ex-students (from English 14) will be giving a presentation demonstrating how a student writing group works (and answering questions). Prof Malinowitz would like to encourage all tutors to attend if possible, and especially encourage those who signed up saying they'd like to be trained to facilitate student writing groups.
A special thank you goes out to all of you who supported and participated in LIU's very first National Day on Writing on October 20. Among many other events--including poster displays, two readings, a writing career panel, etc.--the ARC hosted a postcard table, the Writing Scavenger Hunt, and the wildly popular Post-it Wall. The campus community even created our own online gallery of writing, Voices at a Crossroads. It was so exciting to be part of this cross-campus initiative. It gave us a chance to show off the diversity of writing happening across our campus. I know next year will be even bigger.
