WriteNight:  April 4th, 6-9pm in the Renne Library Commons

Writing a Lit Review:  **Update!** April 2nd, 4-5pm in the Library Conference Room #1 (CR1).  Because of space, we will be capping the event at 16 students.  Please RSVP here: http://www.montana.edu/gradschool/rsvp/rsvp.html

Individual tutoring:  all the time!

WriteNight was a great success last semester and I’m hopeful for an even bigger graduate student turn-out this time around.  I’ll be there to offer individual help and answer your questions along with reference librarians and Writing Center tutors.  It’s a one-stop-shop for writing needs.  PLUS you’ll get a voucher for FREE coffee from SRO to fuel your writing.

I’ll post more details about the Lit Review seminar as I get them squared away.

Have specific questions?  Want more info?  Email me at msu.grad.tutor@gmail.com.
