POST-VISIT CONFIRMATION EMAIL
The Writing Resource Center will send an email to all students who have completed a writing consultation. It will be sent on the day of the appointment after 9:00pm. This email can be used as proof of your attendance (provided that you don't cancel or miss your appointment). It also includes a link to a short survey that you may use to comment on your recent writing session.
If you need a copy of your proficiency exam, please visit the Writing Resource Center at 132 West 21st Street, 9th floor (Summer: Monday-Thursday only, between 1030am-430pm).
We cannot share PEs via email unless you took the exam online. If your writing session is online, you will need to type your essay (with errors) and share it with the writing consultant.

The WRC's trained speech and language consultants will help tailor your message and delivery to prepare you for an upcoming interview, speech, presentation, or other speech-related projects. Our consultants can also help with general feedback and support with your public speaking skills.
