At the Graduate Writing and Presenting Lab, we provide writing and presenting support to all URI doctoral and master’s students, postdoctoral fellows, and visiting assistant professors to foster continuing development of academic and professional skills necessary to succeed in graduate programs and academic or professional careers.
Our trained, peer consultants are available to meet with students to enhance both writing and presentation skills. In appointments, you can expect to work with knowledgeable, thoughtful peers that will help you gain confidence in the writing and presenting process! We provide support and constructive feedback on:
Writing:
- Theses/Dissertations
- Job Application Materials (CV/Resumes, Cover letters, Personal Statements, Research/Teaching Statements, etc.)
- Manuscripts
- Class assignments
- And more!
Presentations:
- Thesis/Dissertation defenses
- Proposals
- Class projects
- Seminar talks
- Conference posters/presentations
- Confidence in presenting your work
- And more!
For all projects, our tutors will work with you at any stage of the process whether you need help brainstorming ideas and organizing your thoughts or polishing your final presentation or paper!
