McCourt Policy-Writing Center
For more than a decade, the Policy-Writing Center has helped McCourt students strengthen their strategic communication skills.
Through one-on-one consultations, workshops, and a range of virtual and in-person offerings, the center supports students at every stage of their academic and professional development — meeting them where they are with the tools they need to communicate effectively as future policy leaders.
Our services
The Policy-Writing Center offers students multiple ways to sharpen their communication skills, including workshops, individual coaching sessions, feedback and publication groups, and self-paced online modules. The center also supports faculty through pedagogical forums, in-class workshops and consultations.

Our mission
The Policy-Writing Center is a fundamental part of McCourt’s training the ethically-grounded leaders of tomorrow, of giving them the cutting-edge skills to have a positive impact in the world. The Policy-Writing Center aims to provide targeted competency education in strategic communication to support our students in achieving their academic and professional goals. Strategic communication is the ability to think critically about context, purpose, genre, and audience, and to communicate strategically to address each specific situation. Strategic communication requires a set of specific and complex skills that everyone can develop and improve, and is integral to powerful, ethical and innovative leadership.
Our team
Located on the 5th Floor of 125 E St., the Policy-Writing Center is dedicated to providing equitable access for both students and faculty by expanding available services.
