Thursday Thoughts: June Webinar Live Events!

Thursday, May 30, 2019 webinars No comments

It's the month of June, which is named after the Roman goddess Juno. The Latin root for June is probably luno, which also became the basis of the word rejuvenate. And with that brief bit of etymology, we hope that our June webinars will help you rejuvenate your passion for academic writing.
