Writing Café for Black, Indigenous and racialized students

A space where you can write without judgment, rest without guilt, and connect with peers navigating similar challenges in their academic journeys.  

Drop in to write, meet with a writing advisor, or just enjoy a warm drink and a moment of calm. No pressure, no critique—just a space to be seen, supported, and productive on your own terms.  

Write in community – not in isolation.   

When: Tuesdays from 3:00 - 5:00 p.m. (September 9 — December 16, 2025)

Where: South Campus Hall room 228F.Â
