Jo Milner Ell (joannaell@wustl.edu) will be serving as The Writing Center’s Brown School Specialist; however, Brown students are welcome to make appointments with any Writing Center Senior Tutor using their main schedule as well. Jo is a 2019 MSW graduate of the Brown School and has professional experience in the nonprofit sector, research, grant writing, and classroom instruction. Jo and her colleagues in The Writing Center offer free writing and public speaking support on any kind of writing project, including essays, writing assignments, application materials, grants, theses, and dissertations. They can help at any stage of the process, including brainstorming, developing and clarifying an argument, organizing evidence, or improving style. During online appointments, Jo collaborates with students on idea and thesis development, organization, sentence-level issues, and more. Note that this is not an editing service, but a way to receive one-on-one, personalized feedback on your writing and presentations in real time. To schedule an appointment, please visit https://writingcenter.wustl.edu/ and follow the links to the scheduling system. There, you’ll see an option for the Brown School-dedicated schedule where you can make an appointment with Jo and the main schedule where you can make appointments with any senior tutor or graduate fellow.
