Writing Groups for Undergrads

Undergraduate Writing Café

Looking for drop-in writing support or a friendly, supportive, motivating place to write?  

The Writing Café is a place where undergrad students can come together to form a supportive community of writers.  We provide a structured writing space, with periods of quiet writing and regular breaks, to help you stay motivated and build a writing habit. A writing specialist is on hand to help you learn how to further develop your papers.   

  • Drop-in and write  
  • Consult with a writing advisor  
  • Boost your productivity  
  • Find your writing community  
  • Free hot drinks and snacks!  

Come for the hot drinks and stay and write!  

When: Wednesdays from 2:15 – 4:15 PM, September 17 – December 3, 2025 (except Reading Week, October 15)

Where: Student Life Centre — SLC 3221 (On October 22, the Café will be held in 2142)

Writing Café for Black, Indigenous and racialized students

A space where you can write without judgment, rest without guilt, and connect with peers navigating similar challenges in their academic journeys.  

Drop in to write, meet with a writing advisor, or just enjoy a warm drink and a moment of calm. No pressure, no critique—just a space to be seen, supported, and productive on your own terms.  

Write in community – not in isolation.   

When: Tuesdays from 3:00 - 5:00 p.m. (September 9 — December 9, 2025)

Where: South Campus Hall room 228F.
