Writing Center
Writing Center tutors are available to assist, you, the student, with your writing. No matter what stage of the Writing Process you are in—from brainstorming to revising a final draft—we can help. If you need assistance starting, organizing, revising, or finishing your paper, we are here for one-on-one tutoring. Our goal is to supplement classroom instruction and strengthen your writing skills. We allow you to work at your own pace and on your own individual writing needs.
Where is the Writing Center located?
The Writing Center is located in the North Oasis in room 101 ("The Pit") on the west side of the building.
