The Writing and Communication Centre offers dedicated support to help undergraduate students grow as writers, communicators, and learners. We work with all forms of writing and communication—from lab reports and research essays to oral presentations, podcasts, videos, and grad school applications.
We can help you:
- Build effective strategies to tackle any assignment with clarity and confidence.
- Hone your academic voice and strengthen your writing process.
- Engage in meaningful conversations about your work and ideas.
- Connect with a supportive community of writers.
Our goal is to help you make thoughtful decisions about your work and feel empowered to apply what you learn across future assignments, projects, and presentations.
