The Writing and Communication Centre is proud to announce that we are once again offering our IBPOC Cafés! These graduate-student oriented cafés work as spaces where students identifying as Indigenous, Black, and people of colour can come together to form a supportive community of writers and friends! Please be aware that this is an intentional IBPOC-only space.
The IBPOC Writing and Communication Workshops are spaces where graduate students identifying as Indigenous, Black, and people of color can come together to form a supportive community of writers. This is an intentional IBPOC-only virtual space. Join us on June 23 from 5:30-6:30 pm for our first IBPOC Writing and Communication Workshop, Writing Prompts. You can join the IBPOC writing groups channel through WCC’s Teams.

The WCC will have fewer appointments available for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows from June 14 to 16 as some of our staff are attending the Consortium on Graduate Communication conference this week. Drop-in and evening and weekend appointments are still available.
Not sure how to start that assignment? Our peer tutors can help! Visit us for in person drop-in appointments at Dana Porter Library on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 12:00 to 3:00 pm.

As campus opens up again, we’ve moved from fully virtual writing cafés to Hybrid Writing Cafés this term. Grad students now have the option to connect with your fellow writers in both a virtual and in- person setting.
