The Writing Center
The Writing Center provides free, individual tutoring sessions during which students can work on their writing and other academic projects in any stage, from inception to revision of a finished draft. The Writing Center focuses on writing as a process rather than a product, and coaches strive to help students become better writers, not just improve a single paper or academic project.
Assistance is available both in-person and electronically. The program helps students understand and use the writing process to develop and present their ideas. Through academic interaction with their peers and teachers, the student writers learn how to integrate their personal opinions and experiences into a variety of essays and research papers.
