Writing Center

 

writing_program-writing-center_0524

The Writing Center is a community space where students can gather to pursue a passion or improve their skills in writing. The Writing Center is in the lower level of Buhl Library (Buhl 013A) and is staffed by advanced students who meet one-on-one with writers during any phase of their writing process.

The Writing Center is…
  • Available to all students regardless of major or year.
  • Staffed with undergraduate tutors 20 hours per week.
  • A supportive environment where students talk about their writing and learn strategies for drafting, revising, and editing their work.
  • A quiet study space (during non-tutoring hours) with charging stations, moveable tables, and whiteboards that facilitate collaborative learning.
  • A meeting place for student literary groups and the College’s literary publications, including The Quad and The Echo.
The Writing Center is not…
  • A place to drop off papers for editing (Writing Center appointments always involve a face-to-face meeting).
  • Purgatory for “bad” writers. The Writing Center serves writers of all skill levels and at every phase of the writing process.
  • The "Grammar Police." Our tutors care deeply about correct grammar and punctuation, but their interest in your writing goes far beyond grammar. Tutors make recommendations about big-picture concerns such as whether your thesis statement is clear, to what extent you have met the assignment’s guidelines, and what further questions a reader might have about your phrasing or ideas.
Why visit the Center?
  • You have an assignment that you are having difficulty understanding.
  • You are having a hard time deciding on a topic.
  • You aren’t sure how to research your topic (the reference librarians can also help you in this area).
  • You have research but aren’t sure how to integrate, acknowledge, or cite it.
  • You have written a rough draft but are not sure what to do next.
  • You have written several drafts and are now ready for feedback.
  • You have specific questions about usage, phrasing, or grammar.
  • You think you have met an assignment’s criteria but aren’t sure.
  • You want to talk about anything related to a writing assignment.
What to expect.

You do not need to make an appointment in advance. Walk-in appointments are available during normal tutoring hours. If you are working on an assignment for a class, you may want to bring:

  • A copy of the assignment and the rubric for evaluation.
  • Notes you have taken or research you have done.
  • A rough draft (in print, on your computer, or both).
  • A short list of questions that you would like to discuss with your tutor.

Location: Lower Level of Buhl Library (Buhl 013A)
