Worried About Graduate-level Writing? You’re Not Alone

Writing is a foundational skill for success in graduate school. Unlike undergraduate writing, which often focuses on summarizing research, graduate-level writing asks students to develop and articulate new knowledge, adding to scholarship and inspiring change. Many incoming graduate students, even at top institutions, are not prepared for this level of academic writing. Innovative and accessible writing resources address this disconnect, strengthening essential writing skills and expanding meaningful mentorship opportunities.
