* Free Support for Graduate Writers in Summer Term
*
This summer, graduate students can take advantage of one of two free
consultation services designed to support their writing projects.
Graduate Studies offers support for multilingual students through its
Multilingual Specialist, Melina Gehring, PhD, who has returned from
leave this June. Students writing in English as a native language can
arrange a consultation with one of RWIT's Graduate Peer Tutors (funded
by Graduate Studies). Graduate Peer Tutors are advanced graduate
students at Dartmouth with special training in writing consultancy.
Both options support graduate students working on any writing project at
any stage. If you're writing for an audience, professional or popular,
these consultations are designed for you. Consider bringing:
Articles
Poster Presentations
Conference Talks
Course Work
Grant Proposals
