Bloomsburg’s Writing and Literacy Engagement Studio (WALES) Support for Writing and Reading

WALES supports students on all three campuses’ growth as writers and readers.  We enjoy easing the writing process for all students from any background working in any major. We also enjoy helping students develop  strategies for reading and making sense of texts and course material. Students set the agenda for each appointment—whether they’re concerned about their reading material, getting started on a writing project, improving clarity, grammar, organization, citations, or any other aspect of reading, writing, or English. Our diverse group of WALES Consultants represents a variety of majors and share the common goal of working with students  to develop skills and strategies that help them grow as readers and writers.

WALES will be open in BAKELESS 206 and available online via ZOOM.

To make a WALES appointment, students can use CU Succeed, which should be available in each BrightSpace  course. They can also come to BCH 206 or use their student email to contactwales@commonwealthu.edu. You might also be able to drop into BCH 206 and work with the first available consultant, often immediately.

WALES Consultants can work in person or via Zoom during most of our hours, but night and weekend hours are available only via Zoom. Please see the WALEShttps://www.commonwealthu.edu/offices-directory/university- learning-centerfor more information.
