  • Writing Workshop (6 contact hours, broken in three or four sessions) that include:

    • Guidance during the writing process, from outlining and drafting to a final, polished college essay.
    • Peering-writing: small group atmosphere where students are motivated by peers that share the same end goals.  For example, students applying to Ohio State University will have a chance to process through questions, struggles and successes.
