ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Writing Centre
Would you like to refine your academic writing skills or learn to write for a specific professional audience? The ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Writing Centre (MWC) can help you achieve your goals. As a student in one of the MWC’s courses, you will learn essential writing strategies and techniques that will help you to succeed both at university and in many different professions.
Located in the McLennan-Redpath Library, the MWC is the University's central resource for written communication.
