Take advantage of our asynchronous online appointments, ongoing appointments for long-term projects, workshops, and graduate writing groups. Whatever your program or discipline, we’re happy to help you succeed.
Schedule your consultation
Graduate and faculty writers benefit from one-on-one feedback. The CWE has a special schedule for graduate/professional students, post-docs, faculty, and staff. Book your one-on-one consultations today using our scheduling software, WCOnline.
Look for the schedules labeled "grad/faculty." In-person, live online, and written feedback consultations are available on both the Summerville and Health Sciences campuses.
Testimonials
Tuong Vy Cac Nguyen, Ph.D.
Assistant Professor, Psychological Sciences
"The writing center has been incredibly helpful in guiding my writing to maintain structure without sacrificing the necessarily details. For the first time ever, my team got a request for revision in our first choice of journal outlet."
Clarissa Gainey, MFA
Assistant Professor, Graphic Design
"The Center for Writing Excellence truly earns its name. The scheduling system is easy to use, and the entire team is consistently cordial, supportive, and highly knowledgeable. Most importantly, Dr. Jamie Garner was instrumental in helping me develop an entire paper that I presented at a national conference. His guidance and feedback were assertive, thoughtful, and consistently above and beyond what I expected."
Graduate Student Testimonial: CWE Webinar on Publishing
"I just wanted to take a moment and thank the CWE for an incredible workshop. The information and resources shared were incredibly helpful. I have bookmarked everything! I especially appreciated how the speakers not only shared their manuscript to publishing experience but shared tips and strategies to be successful."
Graduate Student Testimonial: Writing Group
"Participating in a CWE writing group has been very beneficial, as it helps with accountability. It also helps with breaking large assignments/papers/manuscripts down into management segments. The group is also a source of encouragement and support."
