The Pitzer Writing Center is one of Pitzer’s most popular academic resources, holding more than 1,600 50-minute consultations last year. This fall, the center will offer comprehensive virtual support to students enrolled in Pitzer classes. This includes one-on-one video conferences with peer Fellows trained to work with writers on assignments across the disciplines and at any stage of the writing process, from brainstorming ideas to polishing a final draft. The Writing Center will also continue to host a range of online workshops and events, including regular “write-ins” that build community and foster resilience around the writing process. Specialized consultations are available for senior thesis, fellowship, and multilingual writers. In addition, a research librarian offers weekly consultations on all aspects of the research process. For more information or to book an appointment, visit Pitzer Writing Center.
All Pitzer students may use the Writing Center for any writing need. Claremont McKenna, Harvey Mudd, Pomona, and Scripps students are welcome to book appointments for courses taken at Pitzer.
