We are a month and some change into the new semester and now is when things start heating up for graduate students. With papers and other writing responsibilities looming (thesis proposal? grant applications? letters of intent?), now is the perfect time to send me an email and set up an appointment at msu.grad.tutor@gmail.com. ESL/EFL students can also email Tiffany at bliisesl@yahoo.com for more specific assistance.
Do you have ideas about the kind of writing seminars you’d like to see offered by the Graduate School? Let me know! Msu.grad.tutor@gmail.com. I want to offer our students the best writing support possible and I need your input to do that.
Have a great semester!
