The Writing Bootcamp was a central feature of the "Roots & Routes: Navigating Immigration for International Students" event at the University of Toronto. Funded by GLOCAL, the bootcamp focused on strengthening professional writing skills through a structured framework tailored to academic, policy, and professional contexts.

Using a songwriting analogy, the session emphasized clarity, coherence, and engagement. Key components included The Hook (compelling openings), The Verses (logical progression), The Chorus (reinforcing key messages), The Bridge (addressing counterarguments), and The Outro (impactful conclusions).

Participants learned best practices such as leveraging AI for drafting, tailoring tone to target audiences, maintaining sentence precision, and formatting for readability. A hands-on activity guided attendees in crafting high-impact introductions for professional school applications, using musical metaphors to reflect core values in law, business, and medicine.

The bootcamp equipped participants with actionable tools to craft clear, persuasive, and strategically structured writing across diverse professional domains.
