In this feature, we invite you to get to know Marjani Hawkins, our Marketing Content Specialist and Editor! In this interview, she outlines her role at the Graduate College, her passion for writing and expanding her skill set.

Next up, in the series on successful writing strategy, I examine how to become accustomed to the writing process - which is another essential practice when crafting a winning application.

In June, we wrapped up a series of workshops on Grant Writing, led by Dr. Lisa Nielsen from Purdue University. Before Dr. Nielsen became the Director of the Postdoc Office at Purdue, she was an experienced grant writer and was able to deliver training for grant writing specifically designed for postdocs. 

On February 10, 2021, Cindy Lee, an ASU graduate student in the Master of Liberal Studies program focusing on personal essay and narrative nonfiction writing, published her first essay in Transformations,  a joint project of the ASU Narrative Storytelling Initiative and the Los Angeles Review of Books.  In “Am I a Conditional American,” Lee writes about her recent experience as an Asian American living in Scottsdale, Arizona during the COVID-19 epidemic.
