Research and Writing Workshops

The Rutgers-Newark Graduate School provides the Writing Center with funding to support graduate students in the areas of writing and research. To best support the graduate student population, The Writing Center offers a workshop series each semester. The workshops focus on the process of writing: research, critical reading, drafting, and revision. Workshops are scheduled for time periods that most effectively meet the needs of students who work and attend classes. The days and times of the two sessions are staggered, so as to accommodate as many students as possible. We welcome all graduate students to any and all of the workshops. The workshop schedule can be accessed here:  Graduate Research and Writing Workshops

Tutoring

In addition to the workshop series, The Writing Center provides individual tutoring to graduate students enrolled in any of the graduate programs on the Rutgers-Newark campus. If you feel that you need assistance with your critical reading, research, or writing skills, you can request individual tutoring with a faculty member/tutor from the Writing Program. To take advantage of tutoring opportunities, complete a request form, which can be accessed by clicking on the link below: Tutorial Request Form

On receipt, your request is forwarded to a graduate tutor who will contact you via email within a few days. Please also take a few minutes to read the procedures for tutoring . Note that in order to serve as many graduate students as possible, we limit  each student to four tutorial sessions.  You will receive periodic emails announcing the workshop series, updated information on tutorial services for graduate students, and reminders for upcoming workshops. Workshop information is also posted on Blackboard and is accessible to all students enrolled in a graduate course on the Rutgers-Newark campus.

Blackboard

A Blackboard organization has been created for Graduate Students to facilitate communications with you via email, and to post announcements and workshop information and schedules. As a graduate student, you are automatically added as a member of this organization. When you open your Blackboard account, you will find an organization titled: "Graduate Students: Writing Center Resources".

The Blackboard site also archives documents distributed at workshops.  So you have access to workshop materials even if you are unable to attend.
