McGill University is transitioning from the Co-Curricular Record (CCR) in the myInvolvement platform to the new Student Experience Record (SER), which will be launched in the myFuture platform in Fall 2025. This change will enhance the way we recognize and document student learning experiences both inside and outside the classroom. See more information here.

Tracing Melody and Rhythm in Writing - SS2024
Wednesday, June 5, 2024 10:00to11:30
Have you ever noticed how a good paper or article can sing to you as you read it? As a writer, awareness of the musical aspects of a text may help you “compose” writing that flows well.
Participate in this workshop and you will:
- Identify the use of melody and rhythm in writing
- Understand how to use punctuation to create silence or pausing
Please have ready a 1-2 page excerpt of a current writing project to use as practice material.
This workshop is led by Farhan Ahmed, a musician and writer with a Master’s in Public Policy. Prior to moving to Montreal, Farhan worked as a journalist analyzing foreign policy and as a Market Experience Lead for Google in Asia.
The workshop will be offered online on Wednesday, June 5, 10:00 to 11:30 am. Registrants will receive the workshop link in a confirmation email.
