The Writing Center will open for the summer, with limited hours, on Tuesday, May 14. We will offer 30-minute and 60-minute tutorial sessions to Pitt undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and staff. All sessions over the summer will be in-person.  We will have faculty consultants, graduate student consultants, and undergraduate peer tutors on staff.

We welcome academic and creative assignments, digital projects, and professional writing, such as cover letters, resumes, and graduate school applications. Our consultants strive to offer feedback that recognizes and honors different languages, abilities, and identities.  You should expect a collaborative session, one in which you take an active role and which prioritizes your interests and concerns.  

Summer 2024 Hours of Operation:

If you need assistance outside these hours, we have a list of Writing Center and English Department-affiliated editors who will provide editing and proofreading services for an hourly fee.  Please contact us if you would like a referral or more information about these services.
