Writing Webinar Series

 

CDI America recognizes that writing is a fundamental skill that has far-reaching impact across the content areas and is key to our students’ academic and career success.


We are proud to host a series of Webinars (web-based seminars) on various topics related to the importance of writing. The Webinars are approximately one hour long and are free of charge, but attendees must register in advance, as the number of participants per Webinar is limited.


Once you register, you will receive an email with simple directions on how to log on to the Webinar web site, and the toll-free telephone conference line.


If you have any questions, please contact Younhie Chung at 201.213.3577.
