Personal Statement Writing Workshop

Applying for scholarships, internships, and graduate/professional programs often requires a personal statement or application letter. This type of writing requires you to outline your strengths confidently and concisely, which can be challenging. Personal Statement Workshops provide students with essential information to develop an understanding of not only writing about their interests, eligibility and suitability for applications, but also to learn how their statements provide evidence of their achievements that aren’t reflected in other parts of an application. 

  • When: Wednesday, February 3rd, 2016, 4:30 to 5:30 PM
  • Where: Mary Gates Hall 171
