The Writing Center offers events during fall and spring terms.
International Café
If you are an international undergraduate or graduate student, join us for International Café, a series of workshops that tackle some of the difficulties of writing and using English as a non-native speaker. Learn something, chat with other international students, and enjoy refreshments several Friday afternoons a year at the Writing Center. All sessions are on Fridays from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.
Writers' Café
Whether you are a Writing major or are simply deeply interested in writing, you can find an informal community of Pitt writers at the Writers' Café. Make contacts with other writers, try your hand at different genres, let guided freewriting exercises jumpstart your process, and share feedback on works-in-progress with peers from all over campus. Sessions are held on various Friday afternoons from 3:30-5:30 and are facilitated by practicing creative writers, often from the Pitt faculty. Typical sessions include craft talks, writing in response to prompts, and sharing that writing. Start your weekend the "write" way by being part of the Writers' Café.
