Writing Workshop Survey 
 

Have you ever thought of going back to school but were intimidated by the thought of writing research papers? Were you ever hesitant to send e-mail for fear of grammar errors in your message? Have you ever envied someone else's clear, powerful writing style? 

To respond to these and other concerns, Staff Training and Development is planning a writing workshop series. Writing workshops will be offered monthly on a variety of topics, to be determined by staff interests and needs. Your participation in this survey will help us identify those interests. If you want to enhance your writing skills, please take a few minutes to respond to the survey. You can print this form, fill it out, and send it to the Staff Learning Office.
