For Graduates
The University Writing Center is available to all graduate students at the University of Denver. We work with certificate students who are just starting their coursework, masters students who are preparing to start internships, doctoral students writing their dissertations, and everyone in between. We also work with faculty and staff.
Writing in graduate school often means learning new genres, adapting to increasingly complex audience expectations, and considering how writing assignments apply to professional contexts. This is perhaps why about half of our 4500+ consultations each year are with graduate students.
We encourage graduate students to make writing consultations part of their regular writing habits. Having a conversation with a writing consultant can be an invaluable part of the process: a consultant can ask you questions, introduce you to new strategies or practices, be a sounding board for your ideas, and help you develop new perspectives on your work.
We also encourage grad students to inform themselves of the full range of support available for writing on campus and to let us know how we can help you with your work. You're welcome to write to director Dr. Juli Parrish and assistant director Megan Kelly at wrc@du.edu anytime.
