Who We Are

The Business Writing Center is an exciting nexus of intensive professional communications training for:

  • Our 1,500 business students. The Business Writing Center tutors hold approximately 800 appointments each semester, assessing and working on individual needs. This is one of our greatest strengths: We mentor each student to excellence individually.
  • Our Tutors, both master's level and peer tutors. We understand something very important – namely, that business demands its own distinctive writing forms. We train all of our tutor consultants in the specific genres and types of writing that business people generate every day. We also train them on specific assignments.
  • Our Writing-across-the-Curriculum Initiative. We work very closely with professors and TAs in the writing-intensive courses with which we directly consult. We study the assignments, work to develop handouts based on the particular assignment, and give targeted presentations to the classes.
  • Our Oral Communications Class and Group & Team Training. We offer an oral-communications component to address both the formal presentation and the one-on-one interaction skills they'll need every day on the job. We are also committed to helping students excel as 'final team project editors.' We know that learning to research, organize, write, and edit collaboratively is a critical work skill in today's corporate and consulting environment.
