- This event has passed.
October 17, 2023 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm EDT
This workshop is taught by Dr. Jane Freeman and is IN-PERSON*.
*Students should sign up for in-person workshops only if they are able to attend in person on the St. George campus at the time of the workshop.
Graduate students write many proposals − federal grant proposals, travel grant proposals, thesis proposals − and every proposal has a potentially significant impact on a student’s ability to carry out specific research. The introductory workshop in this series provides an overview of proposal writing designed to get students thinking about the demands of, and the predictable variations in, this important genre of writing. We will examine the similarities and differences between thesis and grant proposals, consider the main questions that most proposals must answer, and see examples of answers to those questions in successful proposals. We will also consider common pitfalls in proposal writing, and strategies for getting started on writing a proposal.
This is the 2nd of 3 workshops in the Getting Through Graduate Work: Workshops on the St. George Campus series.
