The Writing Center
Mission Statement:
The Writing Center's purpose is to guide students through the writing process. Tutoring sessions at the center are interactive discussions that encourage students to make informed decisons about their writing. The outcome of tutoring should be that the writer, not necessarily a specific peice of writing, will be changed. Tutors will not write, re-write, or line edit any protion of a student's paper. Rather, they will assist with pre-writing, drafting, researching, revision and editing. Most importantly, the Center aims to build student's confidence and improve their writing skills.
