Since 2012, the OSU Graduate Writing Center has provided support for graduate students, staff, and faculty with any writing they do, including theses and dissertations, seminar papers, manuscripts, poster presentations, IRB applications, funding and research proposals, conference and defense presentations, and much more. We provide both written and one-on-one remote sessions with highly-trained Graduate Writing Consultants.
We offer a supportive, low-stakes environment to discuss and practice scholarly & professional writing. Graduate Writing Consultants (who are themselves either past or present grad students) can help you to navigate and decode the complex expectations of graduate writing. Typical sessions include brainstorming, argument development, organization, clarity of expression, and citation/documentation. While Graduate Writing Consultants may not be experts in your field, they are trained to identify disciplinary communication and content expectations so that you may meet your writing goals.
Students and staff who are drafting Institutional Review Board (IRB) Application and Informed Consent documents can schedule consultations with the Graduate Writing Center.
Graduate Writing Consultants frequently work one-on-one with graduate students on theses and dissertations, offering ongoing support through recurring appointments. We understand that writing a thesis or dissertation is a long-term commitment, and we are here to support you during your journey.
Graduate Writing Groups for doctoral and master’s students are regularly scheduled spaces for grad students to come together to write and get feedback on their work. Groups are offered every term, including summer and run for one hour per week from Week 2 through Dead Week. These writing groups connect graduate students with peers from across the disciplines and help them develop review and feedback skills that play a critical role in becoming professional scholars engaged in research.
Scheduling and enrollment for Graduate Writing Groups is announced in the Graduate School Newsletter before each term. Writing Groups are facilitated by trained Graduate Writing Consultants.
To join a group or request more information, contact Tait Bergstrom ([email protected]).
