Writing Center

The Writing Center (WC) offers UTRGV graduate students assistance with academic writing in all disciplines. Peer consultants, certified by the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA), assist students throughout all stages of their writing process. Individual writing consultations may include the following: clarifying an assignment; assisting with the drafting process from ideas, notes and outlines; tailoring the writing to best address the rhetorical situation (purpose, audience, and genre); revising an essay for effective organization, clarity, and word choice; creating appropriate voice and tone; assisting with documentation style; and assisting with incorporating source materials. In addition to offering face-to-face individual and small group consultations, the WC offers online support via synchronous Zoom and asynchronous daily and weekend writing consultations.
