Graduate Studies offers support for multilingual students through its Multilingual Specialist, Melina Gehring, PhD, who has returned from leave this June. Students writing in English as a native language can arrange a consultation with one of RWIT's Graduate Peer Tutors (funded by Graduate Studies). Graduate Peer Tutors are advanced graduate students at Dartmouth with special training in writing consultancy. Both options support graduate students working on any writing project at any stage. If you're writing for an audience, professional or popular, these consultations are designed for you.
