For students seeking remote writing support (OWS written feedback and Zoom): The end of the term is especially busy for the Writing Center's remote support modalities. Please expect longer-than-normal wait times for written feedback and Zoom consultations. Students who are in the Corvallis area can usually receive writing support with no more than a 15 minute wait at most by using the the Undergrad Research & Writing Studio in the Valley Library.
Writing and research consultants provide support with any type of writing project (class assignments, research papers, CVs/resumes, cover letters, job or scholarship applications, etc.) during any point in your writing process. We're excited to work with you on your next writing project!
Bring your writing or research project to the Undergrad Research & Writing Studio in the Valley Library and receive writing and research support from our peer writing consultants. No appointment is necessary and you can stay as long as you want.
Monday - Thursday, 10 am - 6 pm
Friday, 10 am - 4 pm
Sunday, 2 pm - 5 pm
Submit your writing (outline, freewrite, full draft, etc.) online for a written response from a peer writing consultant. Feedback can be provided at any stage of the writing process, and submissions typically receive a response by the end of the next business day (Sunday-Friday).
