Everyone's communication benefits from a second pair of eyes or ears. The Writing Program provides faculty and students resources to teach, learn, and improve their writing, oral communication, and work with visual rhetoric.
Students come to the Center for Speaking, Writing, and the Image (CSWIM) to talk with trained peers at any stage of their written, oral, and visual projects and processes.
CSWIM Partners welcome all kinds of communicative projects, including creative, professional, and personal, in all stages of development, from brainstorming to the final draft. Trained to think deeply about written, oral, and visual rhetoric and communication, these student peers meet one-on-one with students to facilitate conversations about everything from:
- ID1 papers to senior theses
- lab reports to creative writing
- giving presentations to developing strategies for reading
- engaging more deeply and confidently in class discussion
Our aim is to center students’ voices and goals as they navigate varying rhetorical expectations across genres and empower their projects to communicate effectively with diverse audiences.
