Writing Support
Writing is an inevitable part of academic life. You might feel confident in your writing ability but find that your professors’ expectations differ from your previous educational experience. You might be getting solid grades on written assignments but want to take your writing further.
We welcome you to come for individual writing sessions no matter what stage you are at. A lot of students find that it is helpful to just talk through the assignment, plan out how to tackle it, discuss initial direction, and get feedback on a draft.
Please note that we do not edit your paper and we do not correct it for you. Instead, we will lead you to discover more about writing through helping you identify and think about your own writing.
