Writing conferences
We are committed to supporting all undergraduate students in assignments across all disciplines. You can come to the Writing Center with any kind of writing, at any stage of the process, including the following:
- research papers and proposals
- literature reviews
- bibliographies
- outlines
- lab reports
- personal statements
- personal narratives
- senior portfolios
The Connors Writing Center assistants work with you on many important academic tasks:
- understanding assignments and figuring out how to approach them
- finding and developing topics
- formulating thesis sentences
- generating evidence, creating a research plan and learning about reading strategies
- organizing and structuring a paper
- revising your work
- improving clarity
- moving past writer's block
Although we are not a proofreading service, our writing assistants are prepared to work with people who need help in learning to use grammar, punctuation and formal writing conventions.
In addition to individual conferences, the Writing Center has many resources to help you improve your writing, including grammar and style books, writing guides and handouts.
