The Hunter College Reading/Writing Center is a comprehensive service designed to provide tutorial assistance and academic advisement to students as well as technical support and development to faculty, staff, and alumni. Located on the fourth floor of the Thomas Hunter Building, the RWC offers services to all registered students at the college – undergraduate and graduate – and maintains a comprehensive Web site that includes an extensive library of online handout materials and resource links in the areas of research information and techniques, writing tools and references, evaluating information sources, ESL and literary resources, and instructional resources regarding teaching and learning. Students can utilize the RWC’s services by registering for individualized and paired tutoring sessions by appointment, receive assistance on a drop-in basis during scheduled hours of operation, or attend the center’s on-site workshop series. Tutors help to develop a reading-writing process that students can use to improve their skills and to negotiate the requirements of academic reading and writing. In addition to the RWC’s online resource file, students have direct access to the center’s on-site library of textbooks and print materials.
Writing Across the Curriculum
The Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) Program at Hunter includes consultation on writing pedagogy provided by experts in the field; the CUNY WAC Fellows Program, a collaboration between fellows from the CUNY Graduate Center and Hunter faculty in the effort to address issues of writing in the disciplines; and the services of the Reading/Writing Center, which offers tutoring in academic writing across the curriculum to students and consultation with faculty on student writing. The Writing Across the Curriculum Program is founded on the principle that students learn by writing: they learn to write by engaging in a variety of academic writing activities, and they learn subject matter by writing about it. For more information about the program, contact the coordinators at (212) 772-4014 or (212) 772-5742, or go to the program Web site: http://rwc.hunter.cuny.edu/wac/index.html.
