Welcome to the Barnard Writing and Speaking Center!

• The Barnard Writing Center is a student staffed resource for writers across all disciplines and at all levels. Students can bring in their writing at any stage in the writing process, and can expect to have a conversation about their ideas, style, and goals. Writers of all levels benefit from discussing their work with an engaged reader! Appointments are limited and available one week in advance, so sign up early! 

• The Barnard Speaking Center, founded in 2007, supports students in developing verbal and nonverbal communication skills for academic and nonacademic contexts. The center aims to foster connection through dialogue, listening, and active engagement. Speaking Fellows are trained peer educators who work with students in face-to-face appointments only. Students can meet with a Speaking Fellow about any assignment, for a presentation, an interview, a difficult conversation, or anything speaking-related! The Speaking Center is located on the second floor of Barnard Hall, BAR 217. Appointments are limited and available one week in advance, so sign up early!
