Back on track: Let the AWC events go on!
It’s time to make plans. We hope you have already set goals for the new year and included working on future publications. We invite you to AWC events that will help you achieve those goals. Register early so you don't miss out on something useful.
Happy New Year 2024!
Four days before the new year is a perfect opportunity to reflect on the year’s results. Let's take a look at all the exciting things we’ve experienced in 2023 at the Academic Writing Center.
