History is a fascinating field of study. However, students are sometimes surprised by the amount of writing historians produce. As a student in NAU’s History programs<\/a>, you will develop writing skills that will not only help you excel academically, but also help you to thrive in a variety of careers after college. Whether you find yourself defending a project proposal, writing a legal brief, or applying for a grant, research-backed persuasive writing is a critical career-ready skill which a History degree will help you master.<\/p>\n To help you flourish as a writer, the History Department hosts a Writing Lab where students can get assistance with their history assignments.<\/p>\n The History Writing Lab is open Monday through Thursday when classes are in session. Students will be seen on a first-come-first-served basis. Hours differ by day and availability of GTA tutors.<\/p>\n Writing Lab hours for Spring 2026 have yet to be announced. Check back soon!<\/strong><\/p>\n Please note that the writing lab will be closed during all NAU-approved holidays<\/a>, during all scheduled NAU closures<\/a>, and during any snow\/emergency campus closures<\/a>.<\/p>\n In addition, NAU students can also get help outside the History Department from a variety of programs, including those administered by NAU’s Interdisciplinary Writing Program<\/a>. We’ve highlighted a few other campus resources that can be of help to History students.<\/p>\n\n The Lumber Jack Writing Center<\/a> (formerly known as the University Writing Commons) provides 1:1, 50 minute tutoring sessions and can help with any stage of the writing process. While walk-ins will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis, it is recommended that students schedule an appointment in advance<\/a>. For your convenience, the Writing Center operates several locations across NAU’s campuses. Their hours and locations are subject to change from semester to semester, so please check their schedule<\/a>. In addition to tutoring appointments, the LWC website has a number of help articles and resources for essay writing.<\/p>\n Faculty may also refer students<\/a> to the LWC (UWC). If you have received a referral, we strongly recommend that you take advantage of this opportunity to benefit from the LWC’s services. Referrals are simply intended to help make students aware of resources on campus.<\/p>\n For more information on the Lumberjack Writing Center, please consult their FAQ page<\/a>, email them at iwriting@nau.edu<\/a>, or call them at 928-523-7745<\/a>.<\/p>\nHistory Department Writing Lab<\/h2>\n
