Announcing the Portuguese Writing Drop-In Lab!
Mondays, 12:30p to 3:30pm in Ortega Hall 124 (The Hub, Language Learning Center)

The Portuguese Writing Drop-Lab gives students a place to work on their compositions, as well as reading, for Portuguese classes. In the various Writing Drop-in Labs, you can work on writing in Spanish, Navajo, or Portuguese. The labs are designed to help students who are working on acquiring writing skills in these languages. A completed draft is not necessary! The Drop-in Labs are a place to write: bring everything that you need to work on your writing assignments in the lab; a tutor who is a skilled writer in the target language will be close by to provide assistance.
