The Æ»¹ûÒùÔº Writing Centre

Would you like to refine your academic writing skills or learn to write for a specific professional audience? The new Æ»¹ûÒùÔº Writing Centre (MWC) can help you attain your goals. As a student in one of the MWC’s courses or workshops, you will learn important writing techniques and tips that will help you to succeed both at university and in many different professions.

Located in the McLennan-Redpath Library, the MWC provides a central resource for written communication, offering credit and non-credit courses for both native and non-native English speakers. The MWC’s academic and professional writing courses and workshops will appeal to both degree program and continuing education students.
