The Center for Writing & Learning (CWL)—formerly known as The Center for Writing, Learning, and Teaching (CWLT)—is in the heart of the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú campus, and supports student learning through one-on-one tutoring appointments, small group review sessions, workshops, and more. Additionally, we offer faculty development support through faculty pedagogy workshops and individual consultations. We also offer fun academic events such as the Long Night Against Procrastination, and other events that our students initiate. The CWL is staffed by about 35 peer tutors, 2 faculty members, 2 faculty directors, and the assistant director.
The writing and speaking center at the ÍÃ×ÓÏÈÉú offers undergraduate peer tutoring in writing across the curriculum and presentation practice, as well as assistance to students writing applications for post-graduate fellowships and scholarships such as Fulbrights. Subject tutors provide support for students studying in over 12 disciplines. In addition, Academic Consultants and Co-Readers offer peer-assistance to students working to improve their time management, studying and reading skills.
Students from our center regularly present at the and the conference. Puget Sound hosted the National Conference on Peer Tutoring in Writing in 2016.
Our writing center was founded in 1984, making it one of the oldest writing centers in the world. Our center was featured in the landmark 1993 Writing Centers in Context, and directors and tutors from our center have been active for many years in national and international writing and learning center professional organizations. We were the first university in the United States to participate in the international Long Night Against Procrastination, an event we have held every year since 2012.
