Graduate Student Services

The OUWC isn't just for undergraduates. Graduate students and their supervisors occupy a writing-rich environment, one in which they must write on demand. Our staff includes university faculty and graduate students who can offer assistance as you:

  • Draft or revise a manuscript for publication
  • Craft an assignment
  • Report your statistical findings
  • Compose a thesis or dissertation
  • Assemble a teaching portfolio
  • Construct a personal statement
  • Revise a curriculum vitae
  • Generate a proposal or mission statement
  • Prepare a syllabus, scaffold assignments, and offer feedback to student submissions

For specific information about how to schedule and other resources for graduate students and faculty, see This Semester in the Writing Center for Graduate Students. To schedule an appointment, make referral, or request an in-class seminar or consultation, please send an e-mail to wynn@oakland.edu.

Graduate Specific Programming

Sit Down and Write!

Sit Down and Write! Sessions for Fall 2022

We are reconceiving our graduate writing retreat this semester. If you are interested in having us schedule sessions this semester, please contact Sherry Wynn Perdue, Ph.D., at wynn@oakland.edu.

Dissertation 101

If you need more than accountability, such as support for specific tasks like  publishing during graduate school, drafting your IRB, composing a grant proposal, representing the results of your statistical analyses, avoiding plagiarism or copyright infringement, and/or storing your data to protect its integrity and your participants' privacy, you should join us (F2F or online) for one of more of our workshops. If you have an idea for a workshop, please email wynn@oakland.edu.

Workshop Schedule

We are finalizing the winter schedule right now, but please check back for information about our forthcoming YouTube channel, our workshop on how to satisfy graduate requirements for your thesis/dissertation, and an upcoming workshop with an outside expert on publishing during graduate school.
