STS Writing Specialist, Kevin DiPirro, is here to help YOU!

To help strengthen writing within and across STS, and to raise its profile in the program, we have a special position in STS to help students, TAs, and faculty with the writing undertaken in the various courses and in the Honors Program. Kevin DiPirro is the Writing Specialist for STS.

During office hours, Kevin can assist you with:

  • assignment assessment 
  • brainstorming 
  • mapping 
  • organizing 
  • revising drafts
  • revising/polishing prose
  • first-year writers
  • technical writing
  • Honors Thesis writers
  • Speech or talk preparation

Generally, the sooner in the writing process you can bring in the work, the more valuable that work will be. Rather than thinking about whether you have an extra half hour to spend, consider that half hour doing focused collaborative work on your project to be an investment worth probably an hour and a half on your own. Utilize this wonderful resource!!

Kevin DiPirro can meet with you individually during his office hours (M/W 11:30am-12:30pm) at any stage of the writing process to go over your STS writing work. Email him at kdipirro [at] stanford.edu (kdipirro[at]stanford[dot]edu).
