Writing Center Staff

The Writing Center at CU Denver is staffed by advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and teachers who have been specifically trained in the theory and practice of writing and tutoring. Our staff has experience across disciplines including but no​​t limited to: business, communications, fiction, history, journalism, literature, philosophy, poetry, political science, psychology, rhetoric, and sociology. Through ongoing professional development seminars, consultants have the opportunity to discuss their tutoring approaches, to receive feedback on their consultations, and to implement new strategies for enhancing their sessions with writers. Many of our consultants teach writing courses for CU Denver, MSUD, CCD, and other schools and universities throughout the Front Range. Our collective years of experience mean that individuals who visit the Writing Center can expect top-quality assistance.
