Core Writing Fellows are available for help throughout the semester. Fellows are graduate students who have been trained in compositional skills, are familiar with the works read in Core, and who work closely with individual seminar leaders. Depending on each Fellow’s schedule, consultations may take place in the Core Reading Room, CAS 328; in another campus space; or via a remote modality like Zoom.
Each Writing Fellow schedules their appointments on separate calendar. Use the links below to request a meeting.

Hone your writing skills, on your own time
Flipped Learning Modules (FLMs) are a series of instructional videos that present topics in writing and language use along with exercises for students to complete at home. FLMs are available which help train students in writing, argument, research, and style; linguistic issues specific to multilingual writers; and writing for English-language learners. Access the FLM library and other writing-support resources at the website of the CAS Writing Program.
