The English Conversation Circles (ECC) are being held both virtually and in person for the Spring 2022 term. Read more In-person meetings will take place on Wednesdays from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. Because we have a capacity limit of 15 people for the in-person ECC, we ask that students pre-register and commit to attending all 6 weeks of the program. Students will be admitted to the in-person sessions on a first come, first served basis.
Faculty, instructors, and student groups! Course-integrated Support (CIS) for Spring 2022 is now available. Work with staff at the WCC to create custom writing and communication-related workshops for your students that will support them in your course and throughout their university career. Visit our Course-integrated support webpage for more information about this program.
Do you enjoy great conversations and meeting new people? Then you should join the WCC as an English Conversation Circles volunteer facilitator! Follow the link for more information or to apply.
