Graduate School Writing Center

Welcome to the Graduate School Writing Center!

For Spring 2022, the Graduate School Writing Center will offer both virtual and in-person consultations; most of our workshops will be offered virtually. Consult our scheduling program for details about consultations. Wednesday afternoon (12-3pm) drop-in hours will be only online; Thursday afternoon (12-3pm) drop-in hours will be hybrid (join virtually or come to the writing center) All in-person consultations will be held in 5100b McKeldin. 

At the Center, we enact the Graduate School mission, “Advancing graduate education. Enhancing the graduate student experience,” by providing opportunities for conversations about writing and oral communication across the graduate community. We offer support for graduate students at every stage of their development as academic and professional communicators who can, in turn, fulfill the university’s mission of sharing research, educational, cultural, and technological strengths with the broader community. You can read more about our learning outcomes here.
