Information about the Writing Center

English for Multilingual Students: A specialist is available to work with writers from diverse linguistic backgrounds to develop a broad range of strategic tools for effective communication in the US academic context. Sessions may focus on any aspect of writing in English, from disambiguating sentence-level language to unpacking organization to developing research strategies or engaging audience expectations.  
 
Longer Papers, Regular Writing Partners, and Other Specialized Services
The Writing Center works with students on speaking assignments, introductory lab reports, personal statements, resumes, and C.V.s without any advance notice! If you are working on a longer paper (10+ pages), please schedule two appointments in a row so that you will have enough time. If you are interested in having a Regular Writing Partner (a weekly or biweekly series of meetings with the same Writing Partner), you are writing a paper for an upper-level science course, foreign language, or creative writing, please provide at least 72 hours advance notice and email writing.center@pomona.edu so that we can match you with a Writing Partner who can address these needs.
