Personal Statement Workshops

If you're going to apply to a major that requires you to write a "personal statement" of any kind, consider attending this event:
The Writers Workshop is offering brief personal statement workshops in room 259 of the Undergraduate Library for students (primarily undergraduates) who are writing personal statements or any other type of application essay. Students should call 217-333-8796 to a reserve a spot at one of these times:
Wednesday, Sept. 28th, 3:00-4:00 PM
Thursday, Sept. 29th, 3:00-4:00 PM
Sessions will be interactive, starting with a brief presentation introducing the concept of personal statements, followed by a discussion of some strategies and pitfalls as well as sample statements. Students will have the opportunity to ask questions and if time allows, to get individual feedback on their own personal statements. Call 217-333-8796 to reserve your place!
