Center for Programs in Contemporary Writing
The Center for Programs in Contemporary Writing (CPCW) brings together all of Penn's writing programs, entities, and projects to form a collaborative whole. The Center presents writing courses, workshops and a reading circle. In addition, it offers students an opportunity to perform their writing or to become involved as a tutor, mentor or editorial apprentice.
College Houses and Academic Services
The eleven College Houses bring together undergraduates, faculty, staff, and graduate students to form vibrant residential communities within the larger context of our renowned urban campus, right in the heart of historic Philadelphia.
Each House has a Faculty Director, one or more Fellows, a House Dean, a House Coordinator, a plentiful staff of student Residential Advisors (RAs) and Graduate Associates (GAs), student Information Technology Advisors (ITAs), and many student managers in key positions.
Open to all Penn students, House tutoring sessions in math, chemistry, and economics are free and require no advance sign-up. For more information on tutoring within the Houses, visit: http://www.collegehouses.upenn.edu/life/tutoring.
