The Writing Workshop is located on the lower level of Downey House
(rooms 103 and 104), on the corner of Court St. and High St.
Workshop tutors staff two satellite locations, in Olin library and PAC,
five nights a week from 7 to 11 PM.
The Writing Workshop consists of a staff of writing tutors who are
available to meet with students during afternoons and evenings. We
encourage students to consult the Workshop at every stage of the writing
process. Students often meet with tutors when they want to discuss ideas for an
upcoming assignment, edit a rough draft of a paper, or review a
professor's comments on a completed work. There is no typical workshop
client. Tutors are just as likely to meet with frosh as they are to meet
with senior honors candidates.
To see the list of our tutors, what they
major in and when they tutor, see WRITING
WORKSHOP HOURS.
