Writing Intensive Curriculum Program

Help Here at OSU

The Undergrad Research & Writing Studio provides support for writers at all stages of the writing process. Students can drop by the Studio, located on the first floor of the Valley Library, to work with a consultant and receive feedback on their writing. The Studio also offers two options for Online Writing Support: Zoom appointments with consultants and asynchronous written feedback.
