Honors Workshop: Writing Personal Statements for your Transfer Applications: February 5, 3:00PM-4:00PM (Zoom)
Do you plan on transferring to a 4-year college or university? Most 4-year institutions require you to submit one or more essays (also called personal statements) about what makes you who you are.
In this workshop, you will learn from a Writing Tutor at Oakton’s Learning Center about what the personal statement is and why it’s important for transferring to your next college, review essay prompts appearing on the Common Application or Coalition Application, and the Coordinator of the Honors Program who was a community college and transfer student and has helped many students successfully transfer. They will share sample essays, talk about their experiences transferring, writing transfer essays, and helping students write transfer essays, and provide advice to help you. Attendees will leave with resources to help them start, revise, or put the finishing touches on their transfer essays.
