While the AWC is closed now, we are delighted to announce that we will open this July and August for a special intervention to help students to stay at the University and to help postgraduate students. We will also be doing the work on our study, Academic Writing and Retention.

I am so grateful to all the speakers, everyone who attended the symposium last Friday and Saturday, to all our colleagues in the Library who helped promote the event, and to my co-organiser, our Fulbright scholar, Georganne Nordstrom.
