The Writing Center at WCM-Q provides consultation and support at any level for all types of writing. Students, staff, and faculty can speak with Writing Center faculty and peer consultants by visiting the Writing Center in the Health Sciences Library to cultivate ideas, communicate more effectively, and improve writing skills. The Writing Center supports the writing process, from the initial steps of trying to understand a topic to the final stages of editing. Individual or group consultations can be made in advance or held during walk-in hours. In addition, the Writing Center offers workshops on a variety of writing topics, such as effective introductions, personal statements, scientific writing, and many others. Finally, Writing Center peer consultants are senior students and experienced writers who give assistance "anytime, anywhere," including evenings and weekends. Their time is typically spent listening to students, talking about assignments and revision strategies, discussing concerns, offering encouragement, and sharing the realities of being a writer at WCM-Q.

Contacting the Writing Center
The Writing Center generally operates on a walk-in basis. A schedule with walk-in hours is sent out at the beginning of each week. However, anyone who wishes to make an appointment with a peer consultant can e-mail the consultant directly to request an appointment. For any other questions, you may also email Adam Larson at ahl2005@qatar-med.cornell.edu or Matthew Carey at mac4022@qatar-med.cornell.edu
