Sarah Lawrence Writing Institute to Offer Course on Cover Letters and Resumes that Get Results Starting May 28
By Judith Schwartzstein, Director of Public Affairs, Sarah Lawrence College
May 13, 2015: The Writing Institute at Sarah Lawrence College is pleased to announce that communications expert and former SUNY New Paltz professor Suzanne Grossberg will be teaching a new summer course titled Writing Cover Letters, Bios and Resumes that Get Results.
The five-week course will take place on Thursdays, May 28 to June 25, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm on the Sarah Lawrence College campus.
The course is designed for adults interested in sharpening their professional writing skills so they can increase the likelihood of landing a job, art commission, or consulting contract.
Students will conduct job and consulting project searches in relation to their background and skills; analyze the position descriptions in comparison to the students' current cover letters, bios, and resumes; and rewrite their documents to enhance their content, form, and alignment with desired results. Upon course conclusion, participants will create an improved cover letter template, concise biographical sketch, and attention-grabbing resume.
Ms. Grossberg has a 25-year successful history of raising millions of dollars for the arts, education, and research. She is currently president and CEO of her own consulting company and helps numerous nonprofits with strategic planning, fundraising, grant writing, and public relations. Ms. Grossberg earned her MA in creative arts interdisciplinary from San Francisco State University and her BS, magna cum laude, in communication arts from SUNY New Paltz.
"We are excited about offering this new professional writing course to the community," stated the director of the Writing Institute, Patricia Dunn. "The Writing Institute is committed to helping adults become the writer that he or she wants to be. This course is an extension of that mission and will enable students to improve the way in which they present themselves on paper."
The fee for the five-week course is $400 per person. Participants are required to bring their own laptops or tablets. Space is limited and early registration is recommended.

Bronxville Public Library
The Bronxville Public Library traces its origins back to 1875, when it was a small lending library housed in a room attached to the “Bronxville Model School.” The Library was officially chartered in 1906 and moved into the Village Hall Building. The needs of the library grew with the town and, in 1942, a new standalone building was erected, which is where the Library is today. Over the years, the Library was renovated and expanded to meet the needs of the community.
The Library has wonderful resources for adults and children and offers a comfortable and relaxing environment. The Library also houses a fine art collection, consisting principally of Bronxville painters and sculptors.
The Library offers special events, art exhibitions, and programs for adults, young adults and children. All events are open to the public, unless otherwise indicated.
