The mission of the Writing Center at Rensselaer is to provide an instructional resource to students, staff, faculty and alumni for developing communication materials, including those most typical to the workplace (see menu to the left).

Writing in the workplace differs from other writing formats in that business communication is generally directed to a very specific audience with a very specific purpose (ex. a memo to your boss persuading him/her to purchase a new piece of equipment). Several of the most frequent workplace formats are provided, and the Writing Center welcomes suggestions for additional online material.

In addition, the Writing Center at Rensselaer offers both face-to-face and online consultations. Make an appointment by clicking the link above or by calling 276-8983.
