SUMMARY:Writing a Personal Statement: Crafting Your Professional Identity
DESCRIPTION:The personal statement is written for admission to graduate and 
 professional programs at academic institutions like UBC. But what does 
 personal mean in an academic context? How do writers construct an 
 appropriate professional identity? Research shows that personal statements 
 must reflect the values of the profession\, and that the personal self you 
 construct in the statement must be a relevant self. That is\, relevant to 
 the chosen profession or discipline. \n\n\n\nThis workshop draws on 
 research to introduce participants to some of the typical stylistic 
 features of the personal statement\, such as personal narrative\, identity 
 construction\, and self-promotion\, and includes dedicated time for 
 participants to draft or revise a statement.\n\n\n\nFacilitator: Dr. Patty 
 Kelly\, Centre for Writing and Scholarly Communication\n\n\n\nLocation: 
 IKBLC\, Level 3\, Dodson Room and on Zoom. Registrants receive the Zoom 
 link 1 day prior to the workshop.\n\n\n\nDate & Time: October 30\, 2024 – 
 10:00am-11:30am PT\n\n\n\nThe Centre for Writing and Scholarly 
 Communication does not record workshops or share workshop
