Writing Resource Center
The Upstate Medical University Writing Resource Center welcomes writers across campus interested in receiving help with any stage of the writing process including brainstorming, researching, drafting, and revising. While the Writing Resource Center is not an editing service, our goal is to provide writing assistance that allows students and scholars to engage with their work in a thoughtful, collaborative, and reflective way. We hope to create a resourceful space and help a community of writers that participate in various writing practices ultimately improve writing skills.
