The Odegaard Writing and Research Center (OWRC) is excited to welcome you back for Spring Quarter!
The OWRC is an interdisciplinary center that offers free writing and research support for UW students, faculty, and staff, including one-on-one peer tutoring appointments for students in both in-person and virtual formats, informational classroom visits, and in-class workshops.
Connect students with the OWRC by including resource information in your syllabus or incorporating an in-class visit from OWRC staff. Available virtually or in-person, these class visits bring a member of the OWRC staff into the class to provide a friendly and informational introduction to the Center and its services in 5-10 minutes.  
For classes with an emphasis on writing or revision, the OWRC is also pleased to offer Peer Review Workshops. Guided by a member of OWRC staff, these workshops are designed to facilitate positive and productive experiences with peer review by providing an approachable and conversational structure through which to provide and solicit feedback. These workshops allow students to build writing and revision skills while challenging them to think critically about their rhetorical choices. 
Customized, writing-focused workshops are also available upon request.  
For more information on these support services and answers to frequently asked questions, check out the OWRC website, including our overview of instructor services, or email us at owrc@uw.edu.  
We look forward to working with you and your students! Please distribute to instructors and TAs as relevant.
Best Regards, 
OWRC Staff
