Writing, Speaking, and Argument Program

The Writing, Speaking, and Argument Program leads the effort to familiarize students with key principles and strategies for becoming successful academic communicators across different modes and contexts. In concert with faculty across the college, the Writing, Speaking, and Argument Program builds a strong community of undergraduate and graduate writers, speakers, and researchers. Our program fosters a culture of open, honest, and critical communication. Program courses and tutoring help students develop awareness of language practices—their own, others’, and those of specialized discourse communities—so that they might make informed, purposeful, and effective choices as academic communicators.
