Western Libraries, Grad School to Host Open Studio and Workshops for Graduate Students
As work continues on the Kitto Graduate Student Hub space, Western Libraries and the Graduate School are working together with WWU partners to offer a variety of programs created specifically for graduate students. These workshops and programs are open to all Western graduate students and will be held in the Hacherl Research & Writing Studio on the second floor of Haggard in spaces adjacent to where the future Hub will be located. Designed to help students learn more about what resources are available to them, the events listed below also offer opportunities for graduate students to connect with each other.
Open Studio: Mondays from 3-5 p.m. (HH210)
Graduate students are invited to drop by Haggard Hall 210 on Mondays between 3-5 p.m. for open work time with access to general support from the Hacherl Research & Writing Studio’s Graduate Assistants. Feel free to bring your developing or ongoing projects and work in a space that also provides access to academic resources on reading, writing, and projects. The Open Studio offers graduate students opportunities to strengthen independent skills and accountability, to schedule and structure regular work time, and to connect with other graduate students at Western.
