James Madison University's University Writing Center (UWC) will be holding their first travel writing panel to educate and provide an opportunity to practice this genre of professional writing. The panel is on Wednesday, April 9 at 7:30 p.m. in Harrison 1261. The event is hosted by the University Writing Center and the Office of International Studies. Several JMU professors from a variety of departments will share their travel experiences and give advice on how to write about traveling.
Ready, Set, Roam believes this is a great opportunity to engage with experienced writers and travelers. On a daily basis, we post blogs about a variety of travel topics from transportation methods abroad to how to stay safe. At James Madison University, there are many resources that help students become better writers. The UWC aims to help students improve as writers, not to edit or proofread papers. They transfer their skills, provide resources and offer great responses and feedback. They coordinate events on campus to encourage students to utilize their services and even have walk in hours.
