Writing Workshop: College Admission and Scholarship Essays

Monday, October 17

6 pm

Norman Public Library

Open to all potential college applicants.

If the process of writing essays for college scholarships and admission seems daunting and mysterious to you, join us on Monday for a workshop that will demystify the process. Moira Ozias, Associate Director of the OU Writing Center, and Stephanie Buettner, Associate Director of OU Prospective Student Services, will lead an interactive workshop for potential college applicants on October 17, 2011 from 6-7 pm at the Norman Public Library. The workshop will give participants insight into how scholarship and admissions committees read essays and how applicants can craft essays to effectively gain the attention of these readers. Participants will have time to begin brainstorming and drafting essays, as well as opportunity to gather feedback from others.

Ozias and Buettner have 14 years combined experience working with high school seniors and college students who are applying for scholarships and academic programs and will share their insights and experiences with participants. While Ozias and Buettner hold positions at OU, the workshop is designed for participants who are interested in applying to a variety of institutions.

This workshop is co-sponsored by the OU Writing Center, OU Prospective Student Services, and the Norman Public Library. To register, click here.
