UNLV Writing Center

The UNLV Writing Center is excited to help incoming undergraduates gear up for their time at the university. We are leading three passport session workshops during Rebel Ready Week.

"From Prompt to Paper: Turning Instructions into Action Plans” will cover the importance of understanding assignment expectations, focusing on breaking down prompts, and making a checklist so that you set yourself up for success with class assignments from the start.

In “From Notes to Insights: Building Strong Arguments through Better Notes,” you’ll learn strategies for effectively previewing texts and taking notes on important information and areas to investigate further as you begin to write.

“From Life to Page: Telling Your Story” covers strategies for tracking your life experiences so you can craft effective personal narratives adaptable for different settings, like student organization and volunteer opportunities.

These sessions are taking place virtually on August 17 and in-person on August 18. For more information and to register, visit the link below!
