Peer Tutoring for Undergraduate Writers
At the heart of the Undergraduate Writing Center is a free, walk-in peer tutoring service that was created to help all undergraduates with any type of writing (liberal arts through the sciences) at any stage of the writing process (from brainstorming through drafting and final editing).
All writers are welcome and no appointments are necessary.
The Undergraduate Writing Center does not duplicate what is being taught in classes. It is geared toward the unique needs of individual students.
