John S. Knight Institute for Writing in the Disciplines
The Knight Institute coordinates the First-Year Writing Seminar Program, which serves the vast majority of first-year students at Cornell. It also has developed advanced-writing initiatives: it coordinates Writing in the Majors, and supports expository writing courses in the Department of Literatures in English. The Knight Institute is also home to the Writing Workshop, which offers tutorial-based writing classes and tutoring services for writers at all levels, disciplines, and stages of the writing process. In all, more than thirty-five academic departments and programs offer courses associated with the Knight Institute's programs.
Cornell Writes! is a digital newsletter sponsored by the Knight Institute for Writing in the Disciplines and the Cornell University Graduate School. Each week, a member of our writing community will share a writing strategy from their own writer’s toolkit.
