Feeling stressed about final papers? Here's a few reminders as we wrap up this semester.

If you would like some outside help on your papers, you can book with a UAWC consultant through this Friday, April 24th, or you can drop in to our Satellite Writing Center in Gorgas Library from 7-9pm tonight or tomorrow. Visit writingcenter.ua.edu to book an appointment or learn more about drop-ins.

We're back with another APA style guide, and this time we're talking about bias-free language!

The APA Bias-Free Language Guide is a helpful resource whenever you’re writing about people, identities, or groups and want to avoid unintentional bias. You can use it to strengthen your writing and ensure it reflects respectful, up-to-date academic standards.

Our Writing Center tutors are always here to help with bias-free language, too! You can book a session with one of them at writingcenter.ua.edu.

Register for the 2026 UA Summer Dissertation Challenge hosted by the Writing Center and the Graduate School! https://universityofalabama.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8jkdw8XPQRsK35A

This free six-week writing program is designed to help UA graduate students working on advanced dissertation or thesis projects set and keep writing goals, make significant progress on their projects, and connect with other students at the dissertation or thesis writing stage. Participants will commit to writing at least 8 hours weekly and attend a weekly group meeting to set goals and share their progress.

The dissertation challenge will run from May 13-June 26 on campus (with a virtual option available), and you can join us for the kick-off event on Wednesday, May 13 at 5pm in the Yellowhammer Room (Gorgas Library).

Advanced registration is encouraged, but we will take on-site sign-ups. Feel free to bring a friend!

If you request the virtual option, you will receive an email with a Zoom invitation sometime after May 13. Your group introductions will take place virtually, but you are welcome to attend the kick-off event if you are able.
