Curriculum Vitae Writing Workshop
Develop your undergraduate CV for use in graduate 
school applications! A Curriculum Vitae ("CV" or "vitae") is a 
comprehensive, biographical statement emphasizing your professional 
qualifications and activities. A CV is similar to a resume,
 but an advantage to the CV format is the significant freedom to choose 
the headings and categories for your information and the strength 
reflected in their arrangement. Bring a working draft, such as an 
existing resume, and a list of activities including:
 Honors, Awards & Prizes received no longer than 5 years ago, 
Academic and Research Activities, Community Service Involvement, Work 
History, and Activities outside of the Academic Environment. In this 
workshop you will have the opportunity to work with Office
 of Merit Scholarships, Fellowships & Awards staff to develop and 
strengthen a draft of your CV! RSVP to attend at

Personal Statement Writing Workshop
The Personal Statement is an important part of an 
application package. Applying for scholarships and graduate/professional
 programs often requires a personal statement or application letter. 
This type of writing requires you to outline
 your strengths confidently and concisely, which can be challenging. 
Personal Statement Workshops will provide students with essential 
information to develop an understanding of not only writing about their 
interests, eligibility and suitability for applications,
 but also to learn how their statements provide evidence of their 
achievements that aren’t reflected in other parts of an application.
