Princeton Writes Can Help
Princeton Writes is committed to helping employees and students develop their practical (i.e., non-academic) writing and speaking skills through regularly scheduled workshops and mini-courses, one-on-one appointments, practice-based learning groups, and special events designed to nurture and celebrate the written and spoken word. We also offer classes for University departments at the request of managers who wish to strengthen their staff’s communication skills. For more information, please contact us at pwrites@princeton.edu.
