Mark Your Calendar for March Webinars

Have you attended one of our webinars in Adobe Connect yet? The Writing Center (and other centers in the Center for Student Success) recently switched to using Adobe Connect as our platform for webinars. This new platform means we have more opportunities for you to collaborate with staff and fellow students during live webinars, and our archived recordings have more interactivity as well. We're excited about this change, and we're also excited about our March webinars. We're offering one specifically for EdD and EdS students, two geared toward Walden students at any level, and a new webinar in our social change series. Join us for one or all!

Writing for MAT, EdD, & EdS Major Assessments

Tuesday, March 4
7-8 p.m. ET
Audience: MAT, EdD, & EdS students
Major assessments are required components of the MAT, EdD, and EdS programs, but they require a specific writing style to complete. In this session, we will provide tips for writing successfully in your major assessments.

Beginnings & Endings: Introduce and Conclude Your Writing

Friday, March 14
3-4 p.m. ET
Audience: All students
This webinar highlights two essential aspects of any paper or discussion post: the introduction and the conclusion. In this webinar, we will explore several examples and discuss tips for successful introductions and conclusions. 

APA Citations Part 2: Nontraditional Sources

Wednesday, March 19
12-1 p.m. ET
Audience: All students
In this second of two APA sessions, Writing Center staff members will dismiss nontraditional APA citations and references, with an emphasis on those that are common to Walden assignments. We will provide guidance on citing dicussion posts, course videos, and other sources that are required at Walden but not explored thoroughly in the APA manual. Participants will receive links and other tools for helping students master these formats.
Watch "APA Citations Part 1" here. The PowerPoint slides are available for download in the recording.

Writing for Social Change: Grant Proposals

Thursday, March 27
5-6 p.m. ET
Audience: All students
Sometimes achieving social change requires support from others. This webinar will give you tips for communicating your goals for social change through grant proposals, introducing you to this genre of writing. While we will not provide tips for finding grants, you will be able to use this webinar to help you communicate your social change vision to others in grant format.
