Writing Skills Improvement Program (WSIP)


The Writing Skills Improvement Program (WSIP) is happy to continue offering support for UA students in Fall 2018!

  • Individual Tutoring-by-Appointment begins August 20. Students work one-on-one in 50 minute sessions with a professional writing specialist to strengthen specific documents or build their general writing skills.
  • Walk-in Tutoring begins Aug 27. Students work one-on-one in 15 minute sessions to “triage” a specific document.
  • Workshops begin September 4. Free and open to the public, these 50 minute workshops aim to strengthen writing skills in areas of common concern.

We are located in the Geronimo Building in Main Gate Square.

Our fall workshop schedule is pasted below and our general services flier is attached. Please feel free to share with your students and let me know if  you have any questions. We are also happy to provide you with hard copy fliers for your office.

Thanks so much,
Andrea
