Workshops & Events
The NSU Write from the Start Writing and Communication Center provides NSU students with a variety of opportunities to learn about specialized writing topics and improve their writing and communication skills.
The WCC hosts or participates in a number of events throughout the year that you may be interested in, such as:
- Writing Center Orientations - Bring your class to the WCC to introduce them to our space and services.
- Kinda Long Night Against Procrastination (KLNAP) - Come join us right before finals for focused time finishing up your writing. Food provided.
- Dissertation Boot Camps, and Discipline- and Profession-Specific Writing Retreats
- Weekly Write-Ins - Weekly writing group where faculty, graduate, and professional students can come together this fall for dedicated time to focus on writing your dissertation, research, grants, or other projects. Register for this writing group, which will meet on Tuesdays from 8-10p.m. via Zoom in fall 2022.
- Wikipedia Edit-a-thon - The WCC hosts this event to educate students about editing Wikipedia, to improve articles and to address its biases in what gets recorded and by whom. Each time we hold this event, the WCC will partner with a NSU department to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to that discipline.
- National Day on Writing - Visit the WCC on October 20, 2022, to add your voice to a national conversation on why we write.
