What is an essay conference?
An essay conference is a thirty-minute, one-on-one appointment during which students can meet with an English instructor to receive feedback on their writing, discuss essay prompts, brainstorm ideas for a response, and plan an outline.
Students may also make a limited number of appointments to receive feedback on personal statements and scholarship essays.
