Research Mentor Center
Communication Writing Center
The Communication Writing Center (CWC) is a departmental resource for undergraduates that was started a number of years ago by graduate student initiative to assist undergraduates in writing and research. The CWC offers one-on-one consulting, writing guides, and other resources.
Our staff of graduate student volunteers offer help with writing for the communication discipline, as well as with preparing personal statements for graduate school and internship applications. Students can drop in during the CWC's open hours with graduate student volunteers. The CWC is located in 222 Communications Building.
The best use of the CWC is to get help with conceptualizing, researching for, and organizing your assignment — not just checking grammar and spelling errors. For specific help on writing, check out some of the University of Washington Writing Centers.
Drop-in help
The CWC serves students on a drop-in basis. Simply drop by during the days/times listed above and a mentor will be able to help you. We usually have more than one mentor on staff. Please note that there may be times when the mentors will be busy assisting other students. If you arrive and all of the mentors are working with other students please wait patiently until the next available person can assist you. You should consider coming to the CWC as often as you would like — it can be helpful to come at different stages on a project or assignment.
