Summer 2024 Writing Groups
FULBRIGHT WRITING GROUP 2024: To help you prepare your written statements for the Fulbright application, the Graduate Writing Center will be hosting a nine-week writing group for any URI grad students thinking of applying to the Fulbright program. This is an opportunity to gather with your fellow applicants, share ideas, and get feedback on your work. We will be focusing primarily on the Statement of Grant Purpose and the Personal Statement. This writing group has been organized by the GWC in conjunction with Kathleen Maher, and it is designed to help participants craft a solid first-draft application, which can then be shared and perfected with Kathleen Maher’s input in August. The Fulbright writing group will take place over nine weeks, with weekly “assignments” in Eli Review prompting participants to draft and revise their application statements. We will meet synchronously approximately four times over the nine weeks, for one hour at a time, and we will do so over Zoom. GWC Co-coordinator AnnMarie DeMichiel, URI PhD 2024, will be leading the writing group. If you are at all interested, please fill out this Google form HERE
NSF GRFP WRITING GROUP 2024:Planning to apply to the National Science Foundation’s Graduate Research Fellowship Program (NSF-GRFP)? Join us for a 9 week writing group that will allow you to make progress on your Graduate Research Statement and Personal Statement while strengthening writing skills through an iterative peer and self-revision process. Over the course of nine weeks during the summer, this group will meet for four one-hour synchronous group sessions via zoom on Tuesday afternoons. We will also utilize Eli Review to provide asynchronous feedback on each other’s drafts throughout the program. The first meeting will be Tuesday, June 4th. Register HERE
