Four Fall Boot Camps Coming Up!

Every quarter, SNL Writing offers Writing Boot Camps to help students complete their assignments. Faculty-led Boot Camp sessions are designed for undergraduate or graduate SNL students who currently have an incomplete grade on their transcript or a current project they wish to complete. This fall, we offer the following sessions:

• Saturday, October 22, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at O'Hare
• Saturday, October 22, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Naperville
• Tuesday, November 1, 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Loop
• Saturday, November 12, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Loop

Register for one or more of these free sessions by emailing SNLevents@depaul.edu; walk-ins are also welcome. Please bring a flash drive, a copy of your incomplete contract (if needed), and all prior assignment preparation (including research material, assignment instructions, and assignment writing format). Students should also let their faculty mentor know that they plan to attend if they are working on an assignment for an incomplete grade.
