History Writing Center


The History Writing Center (HWC) is a discipline specific center that is open to all undergraduate students enrolled in History classes. We offer one–on-one assistance with all stages of the writing process.

 

APPOINTMENTS

We strongly recommend that you schedule an appointment in advance, but we also have drop-in appointments.  Appointments can be scheduled online.  For the 2022-23 Academic year, you can set up a Zoom appointment with a History Graduate Student.  You can also view our video tutorial for information.  Please note that we do not look at take home exams, unless we have the instructor's specific consent.
