Happy summer, Gators! The UWP is excited to start a new series called "life hacks." This series is headed up by one of our faculty members, Dr. Melissa Mellon. In these short videos, we'll provide advice for those writing-related questions that are hard to find answers to. Check out this first video, wherein Dr. Mellon discusses strategies for requesting letters of recommendation.

In this series, the UWP provides "life hacks," to assist with questions about writing which don't have easy answers, or can't be found elsewhere.
