We are pleased to announce the results of the fifth SLC Undergraduate Writing Contest for Fall 2020. Congratulations to all the winners! 

Should of? Or is it should have? Me and Kate went shopping, or is it Kate and I? SLC English as Additional Language Peer, Jyot K, shares some of the common faux pas of English writing.  

In this submission to the SLC Multilingual Story Hub, Myrthe de Haas explores critical incidents that resulted in increased understanding of both Canada and Myrthe's own Dutch culture. 

Mythe is an exchange student from the Netherlands and participated in Dr. Timothy Mossman's non-credit course Academic Grammar and Writing for Multilingual Learners during the Fall 2018 semester. 

If you aren't sure why you would submit to the SLC Undergraduate Writing Contest, you may find it interesting to read these reflections from two of last year's Honourable Mentions: Kate E., a former SLC Learning and Writing Peer Educator, and Mariam A., a current SLC Learning and Writing Peer and former SLC EAL Peer Educator. 

Are you thinking about entering the SLC Writing Contest? Don't delay!

We will only accept the first 25 eligible submissions in each category.
