The Center for Writing & Rhetoric (CWR) offers instruction and support on writing and presentation, providing over 1500 consultations each year in-person (when possible), online, and through email review. We also offer events that support milestones and projects, such as weekend Dissertation Bootcamps, Students of Color Writing Retreats, Qualifying Exam Preparation Weekends, webinars, one-day general writing retreats, weeklong boot camps, and writing groups. Recently, we created CGU’s version of the Three Minute Thesis competition, The Big Pitch, which develops and showcases student work from across campus in a unique three-minute and single slide format for a non-specialist audience. We are proud to work as a learning community hub with an anti-discrimination pedagogy for CGU students to develop their academic understanding in an affirming space.
