The Writing Center will offer a series of College Hour workshops at the Brighton and Damon campuses beginning October 24th. The sessions will be presented by full-time faculty who support the Writing Center’s Mission Statement and have a desire to help students improve their writing skills. The sessions are open to MCC students and members of the College community who are interested. Come and join us for our first session on comma usage.

Mission Statement
The Writing Center’s purpose is to guide students through the writing process and to provide support for faculty who assign written work. Tutoring sessions at the Center are interactive discussions that encourage students to make informed decisions about their writing. The outcome of tutoring should be that the writer, not necessarily a specific piece of writing, will be changed. Tutors will not write, re-write, or line-edit any portion of a student’s paper. Rather, they will assist with pre-writing, drafting, researching, revising, and editing. Most importantly, the Center aims to build students’ confidence and improve their writing skills.
