We help faculty with
Studio staff often visit classes and team-teach writing sessions with faculty, helping faculty develop effective assignments and helping students become effective critical thinkers. Because we work closely with faculty, we’re aware of assignment demands and expectations.
Writing is a practical skill
From sending important emails to crafting effective presentations—the words we use matter. Here in the Dungy Writing Studio, we’ll help you learn to write clear and effective text for every occasion.
Our goal is to help you become a clear, confident writer—one conference at a time.
What to expect from a Dungy Writing Studio conference
When you come to the Studio for a conference, you’ll meet one-on-one with a consultant and have their full attention for an hour. Our top priority is teaching you to express your ideas in your own voice, so you’ll work with the consultant to set an agenda for the conference.
You can show up with a draft, a rough outline—or a blank piece of paper if you’re stuck. Writer’s block happens! Let us help.

We won’t mark up your paper with a red pen and hand it back to you. Instead we’ll have a custom teaching session geared towards your needs and priorities.
You can expect the Studio to be an encouraging, welcoming space for everyone—regardless of how much you love (or hate) writing. You are welcome to hang out in the Studio and work on homework, or just pop in for a quick question and a Jolly Rancher. Come on in. Everyone is welcome.
