NSU Writing and Communication Center host annual Kinda Long Night Against Procrastination

Over 150 students visited the NSU Writing and Communication Center (WCC) for Kinda Long Night Against Procrastination (KLNAP) on Tuesday, November 19th, 2019, 6 – 10 p.m. Students received assistance on various writing assignments from WCC undergraduate and graduate consultants, and librarians from the Alvin Sherman Library.

Since 2014, the WCC has hosted KLNAP for students each fall and winter semester, right before the start of Finals. Students have the opportunity to walk-in and get quick individualized sessions or group consultations on research projects, final presentations, or multimodal assignments, from all stages, including pre-writing, writing editing/proofreading, and revising. Librarians assisted students with locating sources and fixing citations.

 During the Fall 2019 semester, the event began with over 100 students visiting during the first hour. Students were offered pizza, while a DJ from Radio X played downtempo/ambient music students could work to while working on their assignments.

“KLNAP is an amazing event that always makes me proud to be a part of it. Even before I began working at the WCC, DJ’ing for these events has always given me a deeper appreciation for the amazing work that the WCC does. I can always tell how grateful and involved the students who attend are for the WCC’s services,” said Adam DeRoss, Composition, Rhetoric, and Digital Media master’s student, and graduate assistant coordinator in the WCC. DeRoss has also DJ’d for KLNAP for the past 4 years, while in a lobster suit to add excitement to the room.

The WCC, in collaboration with Alvin Sherman Library; Tutoring and Testing; CAHSS School of Communication, Media, and the Arts; and other organizations on campus, will host the 2020 KLNAP on Tuesday, April 14 from 6:00 p.m. – 12:00 a.m. For more information about the NSU Writing and Communication Center, please visit www.nova.edu/wcc or call 954-262-8108.
