Center for Writing & Learning
|
Residing in the heart of the campus on the first floor of Howarth, the Center for Writing & Learning supports students of all disciplines in their growth as students and learners.
The CWL offers one-on-one and small-group appointments Sunday–Friday. Peer tutors are selected through a competitive application process, and take part in extensive professional training. They work with all students, ranging from students in 100-level classes to those finishing their senior theses.
The CWL offers appointments with:
|
-
Writing and Speaking Advisors, who guide students through every stage of the writing or speaking process for assignments in any discipline
- Subject Tutors, who support students in the languages and STEM disciplines
- Academic Consultants, who help students develop organizational and study strategies for all their classes
-
Language Partners, who work with multilingual students to help them navigate the conventions and quirks of academic English writing
- Co-Readers, who help expand students’ disciplinary-specific reading skills
- Faculty Consultants, who work with both students and alumni to develop personal statements for various postgraduate opportunities
|
Students can visit the CWL website or Howarth 105 to make an appointment, or they can stop by during the center's drop-in hours.
