Come to a fun and interactive workshop that explores the reading and writing connection. Examine how other writers support their thesis statements while making their writing flow from point to point, and then apply those techniques to your own college projects. Improving your reading skills will give you the confidence you need to revise papers more effectively. You’ll know what things to look for during peer review, and your writing will become more professional as you practice active reading strategies.
Hope to see you there!
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.
