The Graduate Writing Mentorship Program is a 6-session training for faculty members who either work with or are intending to work with graduate students. The program provide advanced instruction and materials for teaching and mentoring graduate student writers. Offered in partnership between the Division of Graduate Studies, the Teaching Engagement Program (TEP) and the Center on Diversity and Community(CoDaC), the Graduate Writing Mentorship Program aims to improve the effectiveness of faculty members to support graduate student writers: to conceptualize their writing projects, create arguments, engage in deep revision, and strengthen their daily writing practices. Not only will this program outline essential principles to support graduate students in making the difficult transition from student writers to writers of academic scholarship, but we will also be exploring the nature of the student-mentor relationship, time-efficient instruction, and the nuts and bolts of drafting, revision, and publication. 

In these workshops, CoDaC’s Writing Consultant, Mike Murashige, will be sharing UO copyrighted teaching tools and techniques for writers, most of which you will not find in other “how to” books on academic writing.

A flier with a schedule and more details is available here. The application deadline for the program is Wednesday October 2nd at 11pm.
