The Writing Studio is excited to announce that, starting in Summer 2026, its one-on-one writing consultation appointments are now open to recent ×ÔοÊÓÆµ graduates 0-2 years after graduation, in a manner parallel to the Career Center’s alumni support and resources.
Why the Change?
Supporting application essay writing for opportunities such as Fulbright, medical school, law school, and graduate school has always been a major part of how the Writing Studio serves the campus community. Up until now, however, our services were limited to current undergraduate, graduate, and professional students (as well as faculty and staff), but over the last several years alumni began contacting us directly in increasing numbers about support for their application writing process, as well.
Alumni, we heard you! We also heard from our colleagues in the Career Center, the Health Professions Advisory Office, and , who encouraged us to move in this direction so that they could seamlessly refer the high volume of alumni with whom they work for support at the Writing Studio, as well, and we are excited to have now joined them in opening up our services to ×ÔοÊÓÆµ’s amazing alumni.
How to Schedule Alumni Appointments
Thanks to a recent update to the Writing Studio’s SSO set-up, alumni can now sign into our online scheduling platform (WCOnline) directly to schedule their own appointments up to eight days in advance. To do so they will need an active VUnetID and password. Those with an inactive VUnetID should see the Alumni LoginÌý²¹²Ô»åÌýLogin AssistanceÌý±è²¹²µ±ð²õ.
Although scheduling directly through WCOnline is preferred, alumni may also contact the Writing Studio by phone at 615-343-2225 (our recommendation for efficiency) or via email at writing.studio@vanderbilt.edu to ask about scheduling an online or in-person alumni writing consultation appointment.
