Newsletter 16.http://jdc.jefferson.edu/wcnewsletter/16A Word From The Writing Team (April 2018)  OUR NEW NAME The Center for Teaching and Learning’s Writing Center is now the Office for Professional Writing, Publishing, and Communication. Our new name distinguishes us from the Student Writing Center, which provides guidance to students completing course-related writing. It also represents our continued support for faculty and other members of the Jefferson community who are writing for publication, along with the broader range of services we now offer to help you become an effective writer and communicator in your academic or professional field. These include guidance on conference presentations and expanded writing-related workshops and other programming. Researchers can consult the office for free assistance at any stage of the writing, publishing, or presentation development process.   NOW OFFERING GROUP CONSULTATIONS We are introducing a service to help research teams improve their group writing efforts. We’ll offer customized guidance and writing training, based on your team’s needs, to help them get their writing done.   A customized group consultation can:  • Reduce frustration for writing team members • Increase efficiency for getting writing done as a team • Provide a shared language for overcoming writing obstacles • Improve quality of team-produced drafts  How it works: • Team leaders invite us to meet with the writing team • Consultants and team discuss their writing process and obstacles • Team provides writing samples to demonstrate possible needs • Writing consultants develop an action plan  • Team leaders approve or revise plan • Writing consultants deliver training or coaching as agreed  WRITING CAFÉ  Writing Café is open Fridays from 9am-11am. Writing Café is a quiet space where writers can gather to work on individual writing projects. It is located in room 200A of Scott Library. Drop in anytime and stay as long as you like. All you need to bring is your laptop (or just a pad of paper).   For more information:  • Call or email Jen Wilson at 215-503-0441 (Jennifer.Wilson@jefferson.edu) or  Pam Walter at 215-503-2828 (Pamela.Walter@jefferson.edu). • Visit the Office for Professional Writing, Publishing, and Communication on the web: http://www.jefferson.edu/university/teaching-learning/writing-center.html
