Writing and Communication Center

The Writing and Communication Center (WCC) supports the entire MIT community through free programs that strengthen written, oral, and visual communication across disciplines. The WCC is staffed entirely by communication experts: all are published writers and scholars; all have advanced degrees; all have college classroom teaching experience. The WCC's lecturers help MIT undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral and visiting scholars, faculty, and staff from every department and discipline at MIT. 

WCC programs include consultations with WCC lecturers, self-guided sessions in the Oral Communication Studio, skill-building workshops, Writing Together daily productivity sessions, a Creative Writing Peer-Review Group, and Public Communication Certificate Programs. The WCC collaborates widely across the Institute, partnering with departments and offices to support communication-focused events and initiatives.

Whether you are working on a class assignment, thesis, article, fellowship proposal, presentation, or job materials, the WCC provides expert guidance to help you communicate your ideas with clarity, confidence, and impact.
