Faculty Resources:
Effective Writing Models
Effective writing skills and strategies are developed through practice, an understanding of the writing process, and drawing on models for good writing. The goal of the Graduate Writing and Research Center is to prepare students to communicate effectively in a variety of situations at the University, in their professional lives, and in their roles as citizens. Learning to write and communicate effectively is a continuous life-long task and it is also one of the most empowering aspects of a university education.
Located in this section are the writings of published faculty in the College of Applied Professional Studies. As is demonstrated in this resource area, effective writers are able to produce a range of writing, therefore the types, styles, topics, and goals for each of these pieces is varied. The website for each author is linked to the work so that you can contact them if you are interested in speaking with them further about their work.
