We work with graduate students for a variety of purposes and in a range of genres, including the following:
If you are a master's or PhD student looking for writing support, we encourage you to make appointments with Laurier’s professional writing experts: James Southworth, PhD (Waterloo), Elliot Worsfold, PhD (Waterloo), Christin Wright-Taylor, PhD (Brantford), or with a graduate student team member.
Our writing session uses a collaborative approach: you share knowledge about your area of expertise, while we offer feedback on rhetorical strategies and academic writing practices.
Workshop registration is required through the Student Success Portal. You will receive the Zoom link to the workshop(s) after you have registered and prior to the workshop.
Are you writing a research proposal for Ontario Graduate Scholarships (OGS), the Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), or similar? Our Scholarship Proposal Writing workshops are particularly useful to graduate students. These workshops are offered in the summer and early fall. Stay tuned for specific dates and times for workshops in the summer and fall of 2023.
Writing Services will be conducting the following ASPIRE writing workshops in the Spring/Summer 2023 term. If you have questions about a workshop, want to provide us workshop suggestions, or you're unsure about signing up, contact us at fgps@wlu.ca.
Over the course of four weeks in May, Laurier's Writing Services team facilitate Graduate Writing Retreat: Developing a Major Writing Project, a program designed with dedicated writing times and writing discussions intended to help participants make progress on a major writing project. This could include a PhD dissertation, a Master’s thesis, or a manuscript for publication. During the discussion portion of the program, a Laurier faculty member will be present to provide their perspective on the relevant writing topics.
