Making the Transition to College Writing
Watt Writing Room (aka the WA room), Pardee 319
Noon-1, Wednesday, October 28
First-Year students are cordially invited to join members of CWP for an informal discussion/workshop on writing for college. We’d like to hear from you about your writing experiences thus far: what expectations did you have for writing in college? In what ways have your expectations been met? In what ways have they been challenged? What do you know now as a writer that you wish you’d known (or learned) in high school?
RSVP by October 26 to Bianca Falbo, CWP Director: falbob@lafayette.edu.
We have room for about 20 students in the WA room, so RSVPs will be accepted in the order in which they’re received.
Lunch will be provided.
Note: Prof. Donahue and I will each teach a section of the course for spring 2010.
