Upcoming events
Graduate Writer Social Hour
October 24th, 3:30-4:30pm at the OWRC (OUG 121)
Join graduate students from across campus for this flexible, writer-focused event. Featuring a welcoming environment for writers to get to know one another, explore OWRC resources, and establish self-led writing communities, it is well-suited for graduate writers at any stage of their writing process or program.
Stop in for refreshments, community, and pick up a plant to keep as your new desktop writing buddy (while supplies last).
