The Academic Writing Center (AWC) is a facility located in the library that opened at the Aoyama Campus in 2017 and at Sagamihara Campus in 2018. It has maintained a high utilization rate since its opening, and we are aware of the high demand for it.
With the goal of "supporting the development of independent writers" in anticipation of post-graduation, AWC has specially trained tutors (graduate students) who provide individual consultations on writing academic papers, reports, etc. for each student. In order to improve "writing skills" in response to an internationalized society, we support not only Japanese but also English writing. In 2022, in light of the COVID-19 situation, we conducted consultations both in person and online.
AWC is also actively conducting research into the support and education of academic writing. Starting in 2021, we will expand on our annual report and publish a journal called "Writing Research."
We will continue to work hard every day, striving to become a center based on the servant leadership spirit.
