Now located in the northeast corner of the Library, the Center for Writing and Learning offers support and feedback on all types of written and spoken communication for the students, staff, and faculty at The Cooper Union. You may sign up for a one-time session to work with a Writing Associate on an as-needed basis or ongoing sessions. A student enrolled in ongoing sessions meets with the same Associate at the same time every week. This allows the Writing Associate to take a long-term view of your development as a reader, writer, speaker, and thinker.
Not sure if you need help with writing or research? No worries! Let us know when you are scheduled to meet with a writing associate and see if they mind if a librarian joins the session.
