Graduate writers, like all writers, can benefit from individualized, one-on-one consultations with trained peer writing consultants who can provide feedback on seminar papers, personal statements, grants and fellowship applications, professional documents, thesis and dissertation writing, publishable papers, research posters and oral presentations.
Graduate students can also benefit from discussions with peer consultants about graduate writing expectations, which require students to engage more deeply with disciplinary conventions than they may be accustomed to. Graduate students can meet with a peer writing consultant to develop strategies to recognize and navigate disciplinary writing expectations.
Finally, we know how busy graduate life can be. Meeting with a peer writing consultant can help graduate students develop a sustainable writing practice and provide accountability for writing goals.
We provide current students with:
- One-on-one consulting
- Workshops and seminars
- Writing groups
- Group and individual study space
- Writing partnerships (recurring appointments with the same consultant)
