The Freshman Composition Program within the Department of English at USA is sponsoring free-of-charge information sessions for students and others who need additional assistance with particular writing skills. The goal of the Writing Outreach program is to reinforce necessary skills that are often not covered in class discussions due to time constraints.
Writing Outreach is open to all university students, staff, faculty, and interested members of the Mobile area community. The sessions are purely voluntary. There is no registration requirement and no commitment necessary; participants may come to one or all of the sessions. These forty-five minute sessions will meet as follows.
