The Office of University Research (OUR) and the

Faculty Center for Professional Development
are pleased to host the

  Scholarly Writing Institute for Faculty

Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday – June 3, 4, & 5, 2008

Karl W. E. Anatol Center

The previous Scholarly Writing Institutes held on campus 2004 - 2007 were an overwhelming success. Faculty members expressed a need for assistance in overcoming a variety of obstacles in beginning or completing scholarly writing projects required to reach immediate and long-term scholarly milestones.  Those who participated in previous Institutes appreciated the time to write, reflect, and consult with colleagues about writing issues.   The Scholarly Writing Institute (SWI) provides a three day intensive workshop to assist faculty in completing a substantial amount of writing on a specific scholarly writing project.

The program will provide participants several hours of dedicated writing time and resource consultants who are recognized for their expertise in specific areas such as editing, illustration, and statistical analyses.  Consultants will be included in the Institute depending on the types of challenges individual faculty face.

Faculty interested in registering for the Scholarly Writing Institute are asked to have most of their research completed (i.e., ready to write) and to have a laptop or desktop computer available for their use. 

It is important for faculty attendees to attend all three days of the workshop. You can access the SWI registration form at the Office of University Research website at www.csulb.edu/research (see “Educational Opportunities”) or at the Faculty Center for Professional Development website http://www.csulb.edu/centers/fcpd/ (see Events/Workshops).     

If you have any questions or need a registration form mailed to you, please contact Robin Moore in the Office of University Research at rlmoore@csulb.edu.

Please note: Space is limited, so register early.
