In this four-day workshop brought to you by the Red Cedar Writing Project (RCWP), we will follow the structure of an invitational summer institute (ISI) to share best practices, discuss pedagogical texts, and write for professional and personal purposes. We will have reading groups, whole group discussions, sacred writing time, and writing groups. Engage in an experience just like your original ISI experience!
The Advanced Summer Institute is open to any NWP TC, and will take place on MSU's campus from July 15th - 18th 2019.
Early-bird registration rate: $275 until May 1, 2019
Regular registration rate: $300
Registration closes on June 1, 2019
