The Fellowships and Writing Center (FWC)

The CWCI offers individual consultations (by appointment), peer review groups, dedicated writing space, workshops, and other programming to support registered GSAS students at all stages of their careers. Tutoring support is offered to all GSAS students in any discipline who seek to improve their academic papers, dissertations, and presentations. Overall, the CWCI helps GSAS students to heighten the impact of their research by fostering and refining their written and oral communication skills.

GSAS students are eligible to make one appointment per week, dependent upon availability. Appointments are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. In your e-mail, describe the piece of writing (or writing-related topic) that you would like to discuss and what your goals are for the meeting. Make an arrangement to send your piece of writing (ideally, double-spaced and at least 12pt font) as an attachment. Be sure to confirm your appointments after a date has been suggested. Students are welcome to submit pieces of writing that are at any stage of completeness. Very rough drafts are fine, as are more polished pieces or papers that students are preparing for publication. Appointments generally take one hour; shorter appointments are available as well.
