- We are here to help you write strong thesis statements, make persuasive arguments, use evidence to support your claims, use proper citation practices, understand the expectations of your assignment, and learn disciplinary writing norms.
- We can also provide feedback about major applications, cover letters, internship applications, fellowship applications, etc.
