Summer Programming

Write Together at Home

Write Together at Home: June 2024 Graduate Writing Program provides graduate and professional students and postdocs with community, structure, and resources to support their writing. This program is designed to kick-start summer writing practice during the month of June, as well as to help establish writing practices and peer writing networks that will sustain writing throughout the summer.

Summer Writing Center

During Cornell’s 6-week summer session (June 24 - August 2), the Summer Writing Center supports students, postdocs, faculty, staff, and alum on any kind of writing project at any stage of the drafting process. Tutors (trained graduate students) serve as responsive listeners and readers who can address questions about the writing process or about particular pieces of writing. They can also consider questions of confidence, critical reading, analytic thought, organization and imagination, as well as help identify patterns of error at the sentence or paragraph-level.
