Upcoming Webinar:  College Writing Support Services for Veteran Student Success

As a veteran, the transition from the military to student roles can be difficult. One of the challenges you may encounter is how to effectively convey your thoughts and ideas in writing to fulfill class assignments. During this presentation you’ll hear from Excelsior College staff and veteran students about what it takes to apply writing skills in college to be successful.

In addition, Excelsior experts will outline educational writing resources freely available to the general public, including Grammarly and both the Excelsior College Online Writing Lab (OWL) and the ESL Writing Online Workshop (ESL-WOW) as well as Smarthinking, which is open to Excelsior students.
