Undergraduate Writing Support

Offering writing support for all students is a priority. The Writing Lab provides all students, including undergraduate students, with writing assistance through trained tutors. Tutors support students throughout the writing process through consultations with guided feedback. The Writing Lab also offers students various supportive resources including workshops that focus on various aspects of the writing process as well as a digital resource library which includes supplemental documents that outline elements of the writing process and a link to TutorTrac and online writing-focused support.

  • Creating a professional resume and cover letter to help you land a job interview.
  • Responding to questions during a job interview so you may obtain a job offer.
  • Uncovering job openings and connecting with people.
