Writing Program at UMass

Since 1982, we have been an independent academic unit serving the entire campus community and remain a key part of undergraduate general education here at the University of Massachusetts. Our award-winning program's mission is to help students at UMass Amherst acquire the writing skills they need in their courses, their careers, and their lives in general. 

This semester the Resource Center Staff will be hosting a series of Coffee Chats. These chats are informal conversations centered around a topic related to the teaching of writing. Chats will be on the following Fridays (2/22, 3/22, 4/5, 4/19) from 2:30-3:30 p.m. in 1321 Du Bois Library. Following each chat, the Resource Center staff will post a summary of the conversation on the reflective teaching blog. If you are looking for good conversations about teaching and writing—and a cup of coffee—please join us!
