What is the Writing Center?

The Writing Center is a student-run place where you can discuss your writing at any stage of the writing process. Whether you're struggling to define your topic or trying to make an outline or have already completed a draft of your paper, the writing consultants will work with you to help you clarify what you're trying to say and can offer suggestions on how to improve the focus, organization, and mechanics of your paper. The consultant's most valuable role is to act as a knowledgeable and impartial reader -- to tell you where you need more support for an assertion. Although the consultants will be happy to help you edit your paper, you are responsible for doing the work. You cannot drop your paper off for proofreading and pick it up later. Our purpose is to help you help yourself to become a better writer, not to do your work for you. Although you are welcome to drop in at any time, appointments are encouraged so that you can have more thorough, less rushed help. Just call the number above to set up a time.
