The Writing-Intensive Program
Peer Tutoring in Writing
The advantages of writing conferences are many. Students receive feedback from experienced peer readers, they start assignments early, and they write multiple drafts. Hamilton students participate in more than 2,800 conferences a year; over 90% of students use the Writing Center during their time at Hamilton. To require conferences, please submit this form.
Individual Referrals
You may refer students having significant difficulty with writing to the WC Director for ongoing professional tutoring.
