Academic Writing for International Students

This workshop will provide incoming international graduate students with the information and resources needed to identify graduate-level expectations and sustain academic success. All graduate students are welcome to attend, but the workshop prioritizes the international student experience. We will discuss common academic problems, possible strategies, available resources, and open the floor to attendee questions and concerns. We look forward to seeing you at this workshop and continuing to support you throughout your academic journey here at UNT!
