Writing Programs
The Writing Center is a student-staffed program designed to provide individualized support at any stage of the writing process, from initial brainstorming and talking through ideas to planning, organizing, and polishing drafts—and everything in between. Specially trained peer writing mentors from a range of undergraduate majors provide one-on-one and small group writing sessions for Union students working on projects for any course across the liberal arts, sciences, and engineering curriculum. We also support students working on personal statements for graduate and professional school, essays for study abroad or internship applications, scholarship and fellowship statements, job application essays, and more.
Our staff of student writing mentors work with their peers in an open, supportive, and enthusiastic learning environment. Our goal is to help you write with meaning, purpose, and a sense of human connection at Union and beyond. Come write with us!
The Writing Center is located on the second floor of Schaffer Library, Rooms 226 and 227. We are open during the term, Sunday through Thursday, 3-11pm. It is best to make an appointment, as these hours sometimes vary. The Writing Center is closed for regular appointments on Friday and Saturday.
The Writing Center typically opens during the first week of classes each term. Because we are staffed by students, the Writing Center is closed over the summer and during breaks, whenever classes are not in session. If you have questions, please contact us!
