The Writing Center provides a place for all University of Pittsburgh students, faculty, and staff to come to work on their writing.

The Writing Center's hours at Hillman Library for Fall 2006 are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m, or you can visit their main office at M2, Thaw Hall.
