UConn Writing Center

<P>Our Personal Statements workshops focus on the Personal Statement (or Statement of Purpose) as a genre of writing. Graduate schools, fellowships, grants, and other competitive programs often require each applicant to submit a short essay about her history and goals. These essays are sometimes written in response to very specific questions; sometimes, they're written in response to a generic prompt. In both cases, a good personal statement carefully balances its author's history and aspirations.</P>
<P>These 30 minute sessions introduce students to basic conventions of most statements. We will compare and contrast the introductions to several successful essays, and students will write a draft of a new 'hook' to their own personal statement in-session. Students at any point in the writing process are invited to attend.</P>
