Statement of Purpose Workshops
Will you be applying to a master’s or PhD program soon? Do you need to include a statement of purpose (SoP) with your application?
The Career and Alumni Office and the Faculty Academic English program invite students to come to their Statement of Purpose Workshops and learn how to write an SoP more effectively, and also how to tailor it to different audiences. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and find out how to set up an appointment to get feedback on their SoPs from FAE instructors.
This year, the workshops will be held on November 5 and 19 and December 10, all at 5:40 p.m. in the FEASS building’s C-Block Auditorium.
The Statement of Purpose Workshop is a Career Passport Program (CPP) activity, and is worth 1 point toward the 10-point total needed to complete the program.
#AcWriMo at Bilkent
November is Academic Writing Month – or #AcWriMo on social media – an annual event that challenges participants to meet a self-set writing goal during the month. Here at Bilkent, the Humanities Center initiative and the Department of Communication and Design will mark the occasion by holding weekly Write-A-Thons every Friday morning throughout the month.
The Write-A-Thons will offer a work space and a regular time slot where participants can declare and share their writing goals, track weekly progress, and find fresh motivation for their writing projects. Due to limited space, these sessions are open to faculty and graduate students only, who are welcome to stop by for a while or stay the whole morning.
The sessions will take place in FB-114 (in the Graphic Design building; entrance above the FC Starbucks) on Friday mornings from 9 a.m. to 12 noon, November 8, 15, 22 and 29.
More information about Academic Writing Month may be found at phd2published.com/acwri-2/acbowrimo/about/ and by searching the #AcWriMo hashtag on Twitter and other social media platforms.
