October Live Webinars

Next week, we're excited to host two live student webinars. "Welcome to the Writing Center" is a great webinar for you if you're new to Walden, haven't used the Writing Center much yet, or would like some guidance on what resources are most helpful depending on the time you have and your learning style. 

October is a special month for the Walden community, as students, faculty, and staff come together with each other and in their communities to celebrate Global Days of Service. This year marks Walden's 15th Global Days of Service, a dedicated time to volunteer and enact positive social change through service. 

To join in the celebration, our second webinar this month, "Using Restorative Writing to Enact Social Change," is a specialized discussion about using writing to transform pain into engagement and even potentially social change. In this interactive session, learn what restorative writing is, why it matters, and how to use it for healing, self-care, and building stronger communities.

If you can't attend the webinars live, visit our webinar recordings archive to access recordings and transcripts for all of our webinars. Better yet, register for the webinars below to receive the recording links by email as soon as they're available!

This webinar will orient you to the many resources available at your fingertips, including paper reviews, extensive website and videos, Quick Answers, live and recorded webinars, self-paced modules, and social media. We'll specifically focus on which resources will be most helpful when you're short on time, have a few days to get help, or are looking to develop your writing skills long-term.

Writing can be a useful tool for processing difficult events and discovering connections between your experiences and local, community, or global problems. In this webinar, you will explore how you can use restorative writing to promote wellness for yourself and your community. Information about the concept of restorative writing and how it evolved in academia will serve as the foundation for our discussion before you practice restorative writing during this webinar. Finally, you will reflect on how restorative writing can help you enact social change. 

The Walden University Writing Center offers live webinars each month on academic writing topics such as scholarly writing, APA style, and practical writing skills.
