Request a workshop

University of Detroit Mercy faculty are invited to request Writing Center workshops. Workshops are an excellent way to introduce students to specialized topics in writing and to give students a chance to practice writing skills. You may request a workshop by contacting Writing Center Director Erin Bell at bellee@udmercy.edu or via phone at ext. 1289.

Workshops are provided by the director and may be co-taught by writing consultants with topic-specific training. Workshops can be held in your classroom or via Zoom or Blackboard Collaborate.
