Students in the program have access to our summer and year-long academic preparatory transfer programs which guide students through the community college experience, the application and admissions process, research and pre-graduate opportunities and career exploration.

Using the Passive Voice (Geoff Arnold)
Word processing programs almost always highlight sentences written in the passive voice as questionable. However, there are situations in which using the passive voice is not only appropriate, but preferable to the active voice. Knowing how and when to use the passive voice in academic writing can be beneficial for both native and non-native speakers of English. this workshop will cover the basics of using the passive voice and the common problems associated with it.
