Writing Center

The IAU Writing Center offers support for students working on course papers and independent writing projects. The center provides assistance at any stage of the writing process, from brainstorming to final polishing.

Students typically prepare two to three drafts of an assignment, collaborating in person or via email with the Writing Center Coordinator. They exchange versions of their paper back and forth until the final draft is ready.
