Writing Studio
UPDATE: Due to the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak, all Writing Studio appointments for undergraduate and graduate students will now take place online. Please click on Make an Appointment for further instructions.
Mission Statement
In accordance with the University’s mission, the Writing Studio seeks to empower students as life-long critical thinkers and clear communicators by supporting their development as writers.
We believe that writers across all disciplines, at all skill levels, and at any stage in the writing process, benefit from genuine dialogue about their writing. Through one-on-one conferencing and group workshops we act as listeners and guides, respecting and supporting a diverse range of writers as they ask questions, solve problems, and discover new ideas in order to communicate effectively.
During this process, we seek to equip students with strategies for future writing tasks so that they may develop into confident, independent thinkers and writers.
