(For students applying to masters, PhD, and professional graduate programs)

Are you applying to a graduate program for Fall 2025? Are you trying to figure out how to organize and narrow down all that you might write in your Statement of Purpose (SOP)? How does an SOP differ from a Personal Statement? How do a Teaching Philosophy Statement or a Diversity Statement fit in? We will examine organizational strategies for the range of essays you are crafting, and explore ways to find the words to articulate why you are a great match for the program(s) you are applying to. Bring a list of ideas, a draft outline, or draft essays to work on during the workshop. Please come prepared to participate actively in small group discussions.
