Encourage your students to come to the event and support you. There is no registration fee, but walkers are encouraged to raise at least $20 in donations.

If you're interested, please let me know: jbalma@fullcoll.edu

Writing Center Workshops

The Writing Center offers various workshops throughout the semester to help you develop your writing skills. You do not need to register, but arrive early to ensure you get a space. Room 808

These are the upcoming workshops:

Tuesday, April 8, 2:00-3:30
Making Your Writing More Complex with Noun Clauses (Jacob Ludwig)
Do you feel you are always writing the same type of sentence? Are you confused about the differences between adjective clauses and noun clauses? This workshop will show how noun clauses are constructed and used to give your writing more variety.

Tuesday, April 22, 3:00-4:30
How to Avoid Indirect Language (Geoff Arnold)
Over-using the passive voice and depending on I, you, and we pronouns can sap an essay of critical details and length. Editing your
writing for these two issues will help your papers better express their ideas in a direct fashion.

Wednesday, April 23, 3:00-4:00
Introductions and Conclusions (Kim Orlijan)
You only have one chance to make a first impression, and the same holds true for writing. It's also true that the last word can be the
most powerful one in a discussion. If the pressure to begin and end your writing effectively produces anxiety or writer's block, come
to this workshop for ideas, strategies, and suggestions for writing strong introductions and conclusions. Students are encouraged to
bring drafts of essays they are writing.

Thursday, April 24, 4:00-5:00
Sentence Combining (D.B. Magee)
How can you write sentences that are more sophisticated? How can the appropriate use of the comma help you to accomplish this
sophistication? This workshop will introduce you to a variety of sentence structures to make your writing more interesting and
readable.
