International Write-In to Help Students Write Final Papers

                  SMYRNA -- Motlow's Writing Center will host its first-ever International Write-In on all four campuses from Dec. 5-7 to provide tutorial help to students who are writing their final papers.

                  "We will be joining about 100 schools from around the world by hosting the event," said Assistant Professor of English Jenna Caviezel. "It's essentially a final paper-writing party. All you have to do is show up and write."

                  Caviezel added that the Write-In will occur at Student Success on the Smyrna campus from 5-9 p.m. on Dec. 5 (Tuesday). Participants will work on their drafts, ask questions, and receive help from Writing Center tutors and a few volunteer English instructors. Students can post their work to social media using the hashtag #intlwritein17 to join an international community of writers. Complimentary pizza and snacks will be provided.

                  "We’d also love to have faculty, administrators and staff swing by, snag a slice, post to social media, or even stay a while and work on something of their own," Caviezel added. "Students are always so surprised that even professors have to work hard at writing and revising. Imagine how impressed they would be to see deans using the writing process!"

                  The Write-In will occur on other campuses at the following locations, dates and times: Fayetteville Library, 5-9 p.m. Dec. 5; McMinnville Library Lab, 4-8 p.m. Dec. 6; and Moore County Clayton Glass Library, 4-8 p.m. Dec. 7.
