Nearly all grad programs require a statement of academic purpose as part of the application. This workshop is focused on advice for doctoral students, though the advice generally holds true for Masters programs. In it, you will identify what parts of your experience you should focus on, clarify the expectations of your audience/selection committee, discuss commonly held misconceptions about narrative “hooks” and generalizations, offer advice on securing letters of recommendation and review the drafting process. You’ll leave with a clearly defined list of writing tasks and research priorities.
