Public Works: Writing Cover Letters for Public Humanities Positions

This two-part workshop, in partnership with the UW-Madison Writing Center, will focus on writing cover letters for job positions in the public humanities. Together we will walk through sample job descriptions, unpack strategies for translating academic experience to non-academic positions, and review approaches for writing clear and effective cover letters. Students will have the opportunity to practice identifying key language in postings, review sample letters, and learn about new resources.
