Requesting a Writing Workshop
Click here to submit a writing workshop request. Writing Lab tutors are occasionally available to facilitate a workshop for a class or group on the Purdue West Lafayette campus and to consult on the development of workshop materials to meet the instructional needs of a specific context.
ICaP instructors should contact writing lab associate director Tammy Conard-Salvo to set up a consultation on workshops and materials development.
Please make your request at least two weeks prior to the proposed workshop or consultation date.
In-class workshops will not be given unless the instructor is present.
