Show, Don't Tell: Make Your Grad Essay Stand Out (Writing Lab Workshop)

October 7th, 2026: 4-5pm in the Fishbach Room, Folsom Library

A strong application essay relies on specific evidence rather than general claims. This workshop covers the "show, don't tell" principle and how to use concrete examples and details to support statements about a student's strengths, interests, and goals. Students will leave with strategies for revising general statements into more persuasive, evidence-based writing.
