The most convincing ideas in the world, expressed in the most beautiful sentences, will not inspire anyone unless those ideas are properly connected. If readers cannot move easily from one thought to another, they will surely give up and find something else to do. In the "Transition & Flow" workshop, we will learn and utilize transitional devices to tie sentences or paragraphs together, turning disconnected writing into a unified whole. For coherence or “flow” we will look at ways to balance our writing so that it not only informs, but ultimately sings to the reader.

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.
