​On Wednesday, Nov. 11 from 3:00 to 6:00 PM, the Writing, Rhetoric, and Professional Communication (WRAP) program and MIT Libraries present a drop-in event, Write Together, in Barker Library.

Last spring, the WRAP program initiated Write Together to provide a friendly environment for students who want to write in the company of others, whether working on an individual or team project. Students enjoyed the quiet camaraderie as well as being in the same space as others immersed in the same task. Even though we often think of writing as a solitary act, writing is done in community.

At Write Together, students can work on different sorts of writing: essays, reports, and even personal statements and letters. When you write alongside others, you gain in persistence, inspiration, and confidence.

For this event, WRAP lecturers will be on hand to have the informal kinds of writing conversations that nudge and strengthen the writing and thinking process. MIT librarians will be present, too, to help explore and focus students’ research questions.

MIT students are invited to drop in and join us for some or all of Write Together. Please go to Barker
Library, 5th floor, and follow signs to the conference room. Refreshments will be provided, and students may bring their own coffee or tea.

Questions? Email Jane Kokernak (kokernak at mit.edu<mailto:kokernak at mit.edu>), WRAP lecturer.
