Graduate Writing Center (GWC)

The purpose of the Graduate Writing Center is to provide conferences to students who are willing to make a commitment to work with a professional consultant over several weeks. Students who are in the process of completing graduate coursework at UMass Boston, and who wish to develop their paper writing process, graduate-level research skills, and/or understanding of the general expectations associated with graduate study, should consider signing up for conferences. Generally, a student meets with his/her consultant for weekly one-hour appointments.

Additionally, Graduate Writing Center consultants, when invited by faculty, visit graduate courses which focus on the writing process to provide writing workshops.
