The English Editing for International Graduate Students (EEIGS) program, operating under the aegis of the University of Maryland Division of Research and Graduate Studies, offers free editing services for international graduate students who must present their dissertations, theses, and other required papers in English.
Volunteers from the University's Senior Volunteer Service Corps staff this program.
The EEIGS program operates as follows: 1. Eligible graduate students may request EEIGS services from the EEIGS Coordinator ( This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ). The request should provide information about the student (name, telephone number, e-mail address, major department, and native language) and the project (title, length, due date, and whether it is a dissertation, thesis, paper, or other written work). 2. The EEIGS coordinator will seek a volunteer editor for each requesting student and report the results to the student. The volunteer will also contact the student to make mutually satisfactory arrangements for editing the paper. That failing, the student may ask the EEIGS coordinator to seek another editor. 3. The student is responsible for providing a hard copy of the paper if the editor requests one. 4. The student is expected to inform his or her advisor or the Director of Graduate Studies of the program in which he or she is majoring about the aid being received through this program. There are also graduate students and others on the University of Maryland campus who offer English language editing services for a fee. Graduate students in the Department of English who will do editing for a fee can be contacted through the Writing Center, Department of English, 1205 Tawes Hall, (301) 405-3785. |
