Howe Library is home to a few partner organizations at UVM that focus on teaching and learning.

Undergraduate Writing Center

Located on the ground floor of Howe Library, the Undergraduate Writing Center works with undergraduate students of all writing abilities and course levels.  

Tutors will help with the immediate needs of a writing project while also supporting students' development as writers.  From reviewing assignments, brainstorming, and getting organized, to forming an argument, revising, and citing sources, peer writing tutors can assist students at any point in the writing process.

Graduate Writing Center

The Graduate Writing Center supports students in all fields in all types of communication from articles to posters to proposals and more.

The Graduate Writing Center is located on Ground Level of Howe Library. Turn right when coming down the front stairs, walk past the Undergraduate Writing Center, then you'll find it on your left.

Learn more about our offerings or make an appointment with a tutor.
