Developing the ability to communicate clearly and effectively is a central goal of the liberal arts education at Hamilton College. The mission of the Writing Center is to support students as they hone their ability to write effectively and faculty as they teach this skill.

The Center provides this support through individual and group peer tutoring in writing across the curriculum at all levels for all students; faculty and curriculum development via workshops, lectures, classroom visits, and consultations on writing pedagogy and assessment; instructional materials for faculty and students; long-term individualized tutoring for students needing substantive help with writing; and other support for the Writing Across the Curriculum program as needed.

Writing Conferences

During the conference, your tutor will examine the structural features of your draft: thesis, organization, and development of your argument. The tutor also will identify errors in grammar, mechanics, and style and work with you to revise them.

Multilingual Support

Hamilton's Multilingual Specialist provides linguistically-inclusive academic support related to Multilingual and L2 English communication and focuses on writing, speaking, listening, and reading skills. If you would like more comprehensive or regular development of your English language skills, please fill out the Multilingual Support Form.
