About OASIS Live

OASIS Live is a live, virtual instruction service for Walden students facilitated by OASIS librarians, writing and APA style experts, research methodologists, doctoral capstone writing experts, and graduate assistants. Through two avenues for live instruction—Connect and Learn Sessions and Just Write Sessions—presenters provide instruction, resources for further learning, and create spaces for students to practice skills and ask questions. OASIS Live aims to empower students to succeed academically and feel connected to the larger Walden community.
