Writing Support for Undergraduates

We believe that we are all writers and that writing in community with our peers is the ideal way to learn and grow - these core principles are the foundation for our services.  

We also know that, in a university setting:

• writing is a tool we use to learn and to share our perspectives; 

• writing is an iterative process: it involves challenge and ongoing growth in our understanding of how to communicate effectively with others;

• writing is everywhere: in our college writing programs and writing-intensive courses in the disciplines, including the sciences, you will use writing to advance in your discipline;

• writing is a set of conventions that can be learned: by understanding and addressing a specific audience, purpose, and style we communicate effecticely with others and across a variety of discursive spaces. 

Undergraduate students can visit the Writing Hub for: 

• One-on-one writing tutoring by appointment, 5 days/week, face to face AND online/remote;

• Supportive, in-depth conversations about writing, the writing process, and writing skills;

• Help with every stage of the writing process and for any writing project;

• Same-day appointments (when available);

• Writing Strategy Sessions addressing key writing topics in the disciplines. 

Online Writing Consultations

Wherever you are in the writing process, an online writing consultation can help! Have a "live" conversation through video or text-based chat, as well as real-time document sharing, with one of our Writing Consultants.
