Programs for Multilingual Students

Every multilingual student is different.  

You might need help with speaking one day and writing the next, and that's completely normal. Our flexible support meets you wherever you are and celebrates your multilingual abilities as strengths, not problems to fix.   

Here’s how we can help:  

Multilingual Writers' Studio: Revision Strategies - Winter 2026

Through structured activities, peer dialogue, and reflective writing, participants will build strategies to negotiate academic expectations while sustaining their own voices and identities as writers.

This 5-week workshop series for graduate students integrates practical revision tools with antiracist and decolonial perspectives on writing. Drawing on Felicia Rose Chavez’s The Antiracist Writing Workshop, the program treats academic writing as a cultural practice shaped by power, rhetorical traditions, and linguistic diversity.

What you'll get:

  • Early sessions establish community agreements using a streamlined, instructor-guided process and introduce revision as meaning-making rather than error correction.
  • Middle sessions explore global rhetorical structures, argument placement, and cultural rhetorical expectations.
  • Final sessions address sentence-level clarity, local grammatical decisions, linguistic justice, and navigating standardized English with conscious choice.

When: Every Thursday between January 15th and February 12th from 10am-12pm

Where: SLC 3216 (GSA Grad Lounge)

Who: Graduate students who want to learn revision strategies while sustaining their own voices

Cost: Free
